Outdoor procession at a temple-like complex with saffron-clad young boys and girls in orange and maroon robes, white forehead bands and rudraksha malas. Several boys blow long brass horns and one plays a brass drum, while a central figure in a long gold-bordered maroon garment, layered gold necklaces, gold bangles and a cream shawl walks barefoot down a white-and-red tiled staircase. Others stand with palms pressed together in anjali. A small canopied shrine with a deity murti and a white-clad attendant is visible in the background.

A central man with swept-back dark hair, a red tilak and a wide gold-coloured necklace with a large pendant walks smiling in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl with gold borders. He is. Around him, devotees in orange and red garments with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk in procession. On the left, a drummer in red and gold clothes plays a large drum while another blows a long horn. A woman in red with a red mark on her forehead holds her hands in namaste at right, and a shaven-headed child in red stands among them. A table draped in gold cloth and a dark SUV are visible behind, and two men in white stand at the back right.2013-07-21July 12 20132013-07-12July 12 20132013-07-12July 09 20132013-07-09A procession inside a covered hall with a red-carpeted walkway and metal railings. In the centre, a man with swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-orange dhoti with a golden border and a long garland of marigolds and rudraksha beads with a gold pendant; his bare arms carry gold bangles. Behind him, a young attendant in orange holds a brass kalasha-style tray with yellow flowers and a green leaf arrangement. Around them, several young participants in red and orange saris and dhotis, many with white tilak marks and rudraksha malas, walk along; a woman at left holds a dhol-style drum and two others raise long curved brass horns. The procession suggests a ritual walk, possibly ratha or aarti-related, but the scene shows only the walking participants.2013-07-12November 02 20132013-11-02July 12 20132013-07-12July 21 20132013-07-21August 04 20132013-08-04Outdoor procession on red-tiled steps at dusk.
