May 24 20122012-05-24A framed sepia photograph of a group gathered outdoors in front of a blurred structure, possibly a temple or procession vehicle.

Around them stand many onlookers in light clothing and white turbans, including a young child in front at lower right. The photo is displayed in a wooden frame behind glass. The figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm the a person candidate.2012-05-24Outdoor street procession in a South Indian town on a bright day. A group of devotees walks barefoot along a dusty road lined with shops, scaffolding and a colourful temple gateway with painted deity figures. At centre, a man in orange saffron robes with a rudraksha mala walks alongside a man in white dhoti and shirt wearing a red-and-white beaded garland. A woman in a white sari carries a brass tray with offerings. Other men and women in white dhotis, white shirts, pale saris and a blue sari follow.
