May 29 20152015-05-29March 19 20172017-03-19A night photograph of a procession walking along a mat-lined path past a red wall topped with barbed wire. A central figure in a rust-brown robe and a white and orange flower garland walks barefoot, flanked by people in white dhotis with gold borders and orange garments. A figure on the left wears a white shawl and white forehead markings and holds a metal pot, another wears a rudraksha-style garland, and young men in orange shirts and orange trousers follow, one carrying a drum. Lush foliage frames the left edge. The scene feels like a ceremonial welcome. The central robed figure's appearance is consistent with a person candidate, marked by the swept, long hair style, rust robe and garland, with uncertain confirmation from face-independent cues only.2017-03-19May 29 20152015-05-29Night outdoor photo under a white and red striped canopy at an ashram-style courtyard.
