Outdoor courtyard of an ashram on a wet day, with a tiled floor and red-brick pillars. Several people in saffron-orange robes walk and stand around; one young man in the centre wears orange with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, and another in orange walks barefoot on the right with a bare upper body. A child in orange with an orange head covering stands at left, and a drum is visible near the back. A striped mat lies on the path in front. A woman in a white sari stands at the right edge and devotees in orange sit in the lower right. Blue and green tarpaulin-covered structures and palm trees are in the background.

An outdoor procession on a wet concrete courtyard moves toward a small open-sided shrine with a thatched canopy and a deity murti set in an ornate niche. A long striped runner in pink, green, blue and white stretches across the ground. Around a dozen men in orange and saffron cloth lead the procession, several carrying tall brass-tipped staffs; a central figure wears an orange shawl, a long beaded necklace and a bare upper body with adornments. Two drummers in white dhotis and a red-clad drummer play drums on the right, and palm and tree foliage surrounds the scene under overcast skies.2013-08-04August 23 20112011-08-23August 23 20112011-08-23September 27 20172017-09-27 +1 copiesSeptember 02 20172017-09-02September 02 20172017-09-02Outdoor temple-site scene under tall palm trees and a cloudy sky.
