June 30 20132013-06-30A procession on a paved path between a dark red metal fence and an orange brick wall. A central man with short dark hair and a tilak walks barefoot on a woven mat runner, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long yellow-gold beaded garland, and gold bangles. Around him, saffron and maroon-robed young men and boys walk barefoot, some with ash or tilak markings. Two drummers in maroon and orange cloth carry drums, and a small girl in red stands at left. Trees and grass are visible behind the wall. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so this is recorded as uncertain.2013-05-24July 20 20132013-07-20July 12 20132013-07-12June 30 20132013-06-30July 11 20132013-07-11June 25 20132013-06-25Outdoor procession on a concrete path beside a red metal fence and a water tank, with green trees behind. A bare-chested man in the centre wears a gold-and-brown lower garment, a gold pendant on a beaded necklace, layered rudraksha malas, and bangles; he walks forward with a broad smile. Around him, several young people in saffron and orange robes and matching sashes accompany him: one blows a conch, others hold hands in anjali, and a shell and horns are raised by two of them. A drummer in a maroon outfit carries a barrel drum on the right. Sacred thread and vibhuti marks are visible on several participants. The scene reads as a ritual procession with conch blowing and drumming. The man's appearance, with his bare chest, gold pendant, and multiple malas, is a plausible candidate for a person leading the procession, though the photo is not conclusive.2013-07-17Outdoor photo of a procession on a paved walkway beside a red wall and green foliage.
