A man in a rust-red dhoti with a red floral garland and gold ornaments holds a long golden rope or pole beside a large copper-coloured ceremonial vessel decorated with white jasmine garlands and red flowers. An orange umbrella with a teal border and palm trees stand behind him under a pale sky, with dried grass bundles at the lower right. The scene resembles a ritual or procession setting.

Beside it a man in a rust-orange dhoti with gold borders and a long red-and-white flower garland holds a rope and raises a large orange-and-teal umbrella against a blue sky and tall coconut palms. The scene suggests a ritual procession or temple rite; the man is the only visible person, with a few partially visible figures at the lower right edge.2014-08-20 +1 copiesAugust 20 20142014-08-20 +1 copiesAugust 20 20142014-08-20Outdoor photograph of a tall ornate copper-toned ritual pillar or kalasha-like pedestal wrapped with white jasmine garlands and red flower strands, topped with green leaves. Beside it stands a person in maroon and gold-striped ochre robes, wearing a long red flower garland and an orange-gold beaded garland, holding a silver bell and a small brass handbell. An orange umbrella with a blue border shades them, with palm trees behind. The person's face is partly visible; appearance cues are insufficient to establish identity, so the role is recorded as a devotee-priest performing a ritual with bell and offerings.2014-08-20 +1 copiesAugust 20 20142014-08-20 +1 copiesAugust 20 20142014-08-20 +1 copiesAugust 20 20142014-08-20 +1 copies
