In the centre, a smiling figure with long dark hair, a red-and-gold dhoti, a red garland, a gold necklace and a tilak walks with hands held together in greeting, flanked by saffron-clad attendants carrying a ceremonial staff. Behind them, orange-robed young men with sacred ash markings play long brass horns and drums, and a bald man in red robes and rudraksha malas walks at the front. A white-clad man stands at the left edge. A ceremonial palanquin-style standard and trident-like staffs are visible in the background.2015-04-21May 30 20132013-05-30A procession of robed men and boys walks along a dirt path between trees and an orange-painted wall. The man in front wears a gold-and-bead garland and a rust-brown dhoti with yellow borders, with gold bangles on his wrists. Beside him a bald man with a white forehead band and a rudraksha mala wears a rust-brown robe, and a young boy behind wears orange robes. Other attendants in orange and maroon robes follow, and a drummer with a large drum appears at the right edge. The setting is a campus with a football goal and green lawns. Two candidates for the front-walking figure are plausible from appearance alone, so identity is uncertain.2013-05-28A procession on a dirt path lined with a blue-striped mat, with palm trees and a red building behind. A man in the centre wears a dark-red shawl, a gold-bordered orange-brown dhoti, and a long rudraksha-style bead mala, walking with a calm expression. Around him, several men and youths in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps play long curved brass horns, one raising a horn high, while a drummer with a dhol-style drum walks among them. A man in white stands further back to the left. The scene reads as a ceremonial welcome procession with horn players and drummers.2013-11-05May 31 20122012-05-31
