A photograph of a tree-lined garden path with a concrete walkway between beds of orange and red flowering plants and young saplings. A lone man walks away from the camera, bare-chested with white painted markings on his arms and back, wearing a white dhoti with a red-and-orange cloth at his waist. His head is shaved and he walks barefoot. A dark statue or structure stands at the far end of the path under a cloudy sky.

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.2008-10-15A man in a maroon dhoti with an orange-yellow border and a matching maroon upper cloth walks barefoot along a narrow paved path of hexagonal stepping stones across sandy ground.

Trees, a low pink-washed building and a corrugated-roof shed frame the path, with an orange cloth hanging on a line in the background.2012-04-04November 18 20102010-11-18 +1 copiesAugust 08 20102010-08-08 +1 copiesA photograph of a group of people walking barefoot along a dirt path lined with flowering shrubs and shady trees.

Several men in saffron-orange robes walk single file: the foreground figure in a red-pink dhoti and shawl wears a garland of marigolds and holds a brass tray; other men in orange wear beaded necklaces, and one bald man in orange with a rudraksha-style garland walks at the front-left. Behind them, people in white and orange clothing move along a path near a red-walled building. No candidate shows distinctive long hair, crown, or ceremonial gold necklace clearly enough to identify anyone, so the people are described by role and clothing only.2010-12-26A photograph of a dirt path lined with young trees, a low red brick wall, and beds of flowering shrubs and green ground cover.
