Night photograph of a festival procession passing between tall garland-hung pillars of yellow, green and pink flowers strung with leaves. A smiling young woman with long hair wears a deep red shawl over a white dhoti-style garment and walks forward, her right hand raised. Behind her, a woman in a cream shawl and white sari walks beside a woman in a light peach sari, and figures in saffron and orange robes stand in the background near a lit canopy or ornamental structure. Strings of orange triangular bunting hang above. Dim lamplight and blurred motion give a candid, unposed feel.

Behind him walk devotees in white saris, white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, and a woman on the right holds her hands in anjali. A camera operator is visible at the upper right.2009-09-15December 28 20062006-12-28July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesA photo of a garden walkway lined with trimmed hedges, palms and leafy trees, with petals scattered on the stone path. In the centre, a man in a rust-red dhoti and a red-and-gold shawl wears a thick white and red flower garland and walks barefoot. Beside him, a man in an orange-saffron garment carries a white flower garland. Behind them follow other devotees in red and white, including a woman in a white-bordered sari with gold trim holding a flower tray, and a woman in a deep red sari with a gold border walking barefoot at right with hands folded. A woman in white at left wears a white shawl over red. The scene suggests a padapuja house visit, with devotees walking the path and flowers strewn ahead.2014-07-07Outdoor garden path lined with flat paving stones and flower petals, with a man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl walking at the centre wearing a long white and red garland.

A tall figure in the centre wears a long rust-red robe with broad orange-gold borders and a bare shoulder, with long swept-back dark hair, a beaded mala and gold armlets; the figure is smiling and walking forward barefoot. Two women flank them: one on the left wears a white saree with gold border and a white flower garland, pressing palms together; one on the right wears a red-orange saree with a white flower garland, also with palms joined. A man in a white dhoti and red shirt walks behind. Palm trees, a hanging flower garland overhead, and house facades with terracotta roofs form the background. Visible identity cues are ceremonial and suggest a person candidate, but the figure's appearance is not certain enough to confirm.2014-07-07February 17 20162016-02-17 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20072007-01-01
