A ceremonial procession on a pale sandy courtyard under a corrugated metal roof with palm trees behind. Young drummers in saffron-orange dhotis, bare-chested with white headbands, play large barrel drums slung at their sides. Two boys at right blow long curved brass horns. A long red carpet runs down the centre, leading toward a central figure in saffron-orange robes and a ceremonial garland, flanked by other saffron-clad attendants. A white-clad man in a plain white dhoti and shirt stands at the left edge with a wind instrument. Ornate kalasha-style banners and a decorated umbrella-like canopy are visible above.

A long red carpet runs down the centre. A central man in a brown-gold dhoti with a gold necklace and a yellow-gold sash walks barefoot, with a large curved golden horn raised by a drummer at left and a crescent-shaped ornament held aloft. Around him, young men and women in saffron-orange robes walk in pairs, some with hands folded in namaskar, and one carries a tray of offerings. A woman in white with a garland, and a bald-headed boy in orange, complete the line. A drummer in red and white beats a barrel drum at left. The scene looks like a ritual or ceremonial procession.2013-07-25August 20 20142014-08-20 +1 copiesAugust 31 20142014-08-31November 05 20132013-11-05 +1 copiesNovember 05 20132013-11-05June 06 20142014-06-06January 04 20152015-01-04June 12 20142014-06-12June 15 20142014-06-15 +2 copies
