Outdoor procession with saffron and yellow decorated umbrellas and orange flags. In the centre, a shaven-headed priest in an orange shawl with gold border holds a brass tray with an oil lamp and flower garland. A younger man in white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and gold garland stands beside him. Men in white robes and rudraksha malas surround them, and a man on the left holds a camera. Green foliage and flowering shrubs form the backdrop. No figure visible here can be confirmed as a person from appearance alone, so the priest is described by role only.

Behind him another priest in white and a younger man in saffron-orange robes with a beaded necklace stand in an orange-walled courtyard. A hand at the left edge holds a bell-like object. The priest with the aarti lamp is not an identifiable a person candidate by the given cues, so this is an aarti ritual by priests and devotees.2011-12-01December 23 20082008-12-23December 23 20082008-12-23
