A photograph of a procession walking along a dirt road lined with palm trees. A musician in a white dhoti and light shirt plays a long wind instrument (nadaswaram-style pipe) in the foreground, and another man beats a barrel drum (dhol/thavil) with a wrap over his shoulder at the right edge. Behind them a man in a long-sleeved saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair walks in the centre; the figure's appearance is a candidate match with cues of long hair and saffron clothing, but identity is uncertain. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, one in a white kurta, walk with hands folded, and small children in grey uniforms stand at the left with palms pressed together. A white vehicle is visible in the background.2007-01-12January 11 20072007-01-11January 12 20072007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12Outdoor photograph of a procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees and a large shade tree.
