A night-time procession at an outdoor temple-like setting lit by strings of fairy lights and palm trees. Two ceremonial banners with orange-yellow borders and a central blue emblem are carried on tall poles, each held aloft over a shaded parasol. A white-haired man in a white dhoti and shirt with a red-and-brown shawl stands at the centre, holding a rolled cloth in his hands, and a second man in white with a garland and a red turban walks beside. Devotees in white on the left press their palms together, one holding a brass vessel with a red cloth and green leaves. Musicians on the right play instruments in green and white attire.

March 06 20162016-03-06A nighttime procession at an outdoor event, lit by strings of colourful fairy lights in the background. Two ceremonial umbrella-style standards with orange and red fabric, white flower and lotus-bird emblems, and gold poles are carried over the group. At centre, a white-robed man with white hair and a red-and-maroon shawl walks ahead, bearing a folded yellow cloth. Beside him, a figure in a red turban, white garland and rudraksha-style beads wears a maroon wrap; the figure's face is a large printed or decorated portrait on a cutout, not a clear physical person. Behind them, men and women in white and cream dhotis and saris with green-and-gold borders carry a green leafy offering tray and a decorated pot. Several participants wave, and a parked car and truck sit beyond.2016-03-06 +1 copiesMarch 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesMarch 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesMarch 06 20162016-03-06Night procession outdoors under dark trees with string lights at right.
