A procession under a striped canopy of red, orange and yellow circular patterns. A central figure in a deep red-brown robe and orange turban, with a white and red flower garland and large gold pendant, walks with palms pressed together in greeting and a smile. Flanking him are a man in an orange turban and orange robe with a rudraksha mala, a bald man in brown robes with gold chains carrying a tall silver trident, and a bearded man in an orange shirt and dhoti at right. Behind them, bronze bells hang from a pole, and a crowd is visible in the background. The central figure's appearance is consistent with a person, given the orange turban, flower garland and ornate gold pendant, though this remains uncertain.2013-02-12 +2 copiesA photograph of a festive procession or ritual gathering at night under a decorated tent ceiling with red and green patterns.
