Night-time photograph of a street scene where an older man in a white shirt and glasses drapes a long garland of red roses and white flowers over the head of a bare-chested man, with a second floral garland of pink and white blooms also being lifted. A younger man beside them wears an orange-saffron robe, rudraksha mala beads and white tripundra markings on his forehead and arms, appearing to be a sannyasi or attendant. A woman in a white sari with a gold border stands behind, with a red vehicle and street lights in the background. This appears to be a garland-offering moment during a roadside welcome.

Night-time photo of a street crowd where an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti drapes a large garland of red and white flowers with green leaves over the shoulders of a dark-haired man in a saffron-orange garment with a rudraksha mala. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a white tilak on his forehead and a mala around his neck looks on. Bystanders in white and orange crowd close, and a red-painted building with a barred window and a string of lights stand behind. Garlanding is an honour gesture in a procession-style welcome. The garlanded man is a candidate for a person by appearance, with saffron clothing and a mala, but the face and shoulders are partly hidden by the garland and crowd, so identity is uncertain.2014-07-04July 04 20142014-07-04Night-time photo of a procession-style welcome. A central figure in saffron/orange robes with a long dark hair and a garland of white and pink flowers is smiling as an older man in a white shirt and dark trousers, wearing a rudraksha-style mala, places a garland around his neck. Nearby, a shaved-headed attendant in saffron clothing with white forehead markings stands at left, and a bald man in saffron is partly visible at the bottom left. Several people in white and red-trimmed clothing crowd the background near a lit doorway with a grille window, and a red-lit wall and a plant are visible. The central figure's saffron robes and long hair are appearance cues, but identity is not established from the image alone.2014-07-04 +1 copiesNight photograph outdoors on a street during a Tamil Nadu procession.
