A photograph of a large group of women in saffron-orange sarees with red borders, many wearing rudraksha malas and white markings on their foreheads, standing outdoors in front of a red-roofed building and palm trees. Several hold golden ceremonial staffs and a silver-and-gold trident-like staff, and one holds a white drum. Several women raise their hands in a devotional gesture, and a woman in the background wears a white-and-saffron garment. Most of the women face forward, some smiling. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.2014-09-09Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with palm and tree foliage. A central man in a rust-orange dhoti and wrap, with long dark matted hair, a white tilak on his forehead and multiple rudraksha malas, walks forward holding a brass or gold ceremonial staff with green and red decoration. Behind him, rows of women and girls in orange and saffron robes stand with palms pressed together in namaste, several holding red flags on poles, and orange and multicoloured umbrellas are raised overhead. Women on the right wear white and cream saris, one in a dark green sari, with rudraksha or bead necklaces and orange shawls.

Among the marchers, a man in front holds a flag and wears a white dhoti and a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulder. Behind him a man in a white garment and a woman in dark clothing walk in the crowd, and a younger man wears a tall orange turban with beaded necklaces. Dark umbrellas and green and blue canopies rise above the crowd under a pale sky, with bare trees at the right edge. The flags are the prominent subject, and the portraits on them are printed depictions rather than physical people.2016-05-21Outdoor procession on a paved path beneath palm trees. Several women in orange and saffron saris and shawls hold long gold-tipped poles carrying embroidered orange and red ceremonial banners, with a large red and multicoloured umbrella with tasselled fringe at the right.
