Night procession at an outdoor ashram ground under a dark sky, lit by a street lamp and string lights. Several men in saffron-orange dhotis and sleeveless orange garments, with rudraksha malas around their necks, play white hand drums while walking. Behind them, a row of women in colourful saris (red, green, blue, yellow) stand with palms pressed together in namaskar. At the centre, a figure with long dark hair in an orange-red top with a rudraksha mala carries a deity murti or image held aloft on a platform, decorated with red and white garlands, under a multicoloured canopy on poles. Tall orange and red flags with a golden emblem stand at the right, and palm trees and a tree sit in the background.2018-12-31Photo 11724223 +2 copiesDecember 31 20182018-12-31 +2 copiesFebruary 09 20172017-02-09February 09 20172017-02-09A nighttime procession moves along a paved path beside green shrubs and a red wall.
