Outdoor photograph of a wet concrete path through a garden with orange flowering shrubs and green plants. An orange umbrella is held overhead. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe, a large garland of orange and red flowers, and a rudraksha-style necklace; this is a possible a person with a distinctive appearance, as the figure is in the centre of the procession, wearing saffron garments and a flower garland. Around them, shirtless men in white and yellow dhotis walk barefoot, one bald man with a tilak on his forehead, and several men in white shirts and white dhotis follow in saffron robes. A bald man in the foreground is partly visible at the bottom right, pouring or bowing, with wet hair and a rudraksha mala. The scene appears to be a procession or ritual walk along a path after rain.2008-10-15Outdoor procession on a paved path through green trees and flowering shrubs. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes wears a large garland of yellow, orange and pink flowers and a gold pendant, with a bright orange umbrella held over him. Several men in orange robes and white dhotis and shirts walk alongside and behind him, and one older man in a white shirt and dhoti on the right wears a vermilion mark on his forehead. Some people are barefoot. The scene suggests a ceremonial walk, with a person as the garlanded central figure in orange, though the appearance cues are not conclusive. Roughly ten to fifteen people are visible.2008-10-15October 15 20082008-10-15October 15 20082008-10-15A procession walks along a dirt path lined with green foliage and small orange flags, with a fringed canopy overhead.
