July 04 20142014-07-04A narrow alley lined by a plain wall and a doorway procession through a village street in Tamil Nadu. A festoon-decorated canopy of banana stalks, leaves and red-and-pink cloth shades the way. Foreground, a bald man in saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala walks at the front; a man in white with a vibhuti tripundra and an orange shawl walks in front of him. Behind them, a woman in a white sari with a red border and a garland of white flowers smiles while carrying a decorated pot; another woman in a red blouse and orange sari holds a brass plate with flowers. Several men in white shirts and saffron-clad sannyasis follow, along with children and onlookers. Pedestrians pack the lane behind them.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23A crowded narrow alley lined with tall beige walls and a small awning, filled with devotees pressing forward. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl wears a long white flower garland and is being led through the crowd by people around him. Beside him, a bald man in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha beads stands with hands near his chest. A uniformed police officer in khaki is visible on the left, and a figure in white and another in orange walk nearby. The central figure's appearance shows some cues, but his identity is not established from this image alone, so the a person field is unsure. Around 20 people are visible.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesA narrow lane between pale yellow and white walls, with a crowd walking in procession. At centre, a man with long dark hair and a flower garland wears a rust-red robe with a gold border and a red-and-white flower garland; he is being guided forward by a shaved-headed man in an identical rust-red robe with a rudraksha mala and tilaka. Behind them, women in sarees and devotees in white dhotis follow. In the foreground a man in white with a red shawl and rudraksha mala holds a video camera, and a shaved-headed man in saffron is seen at the lower left edge. The centred man's appearance (long swept hair, ornate gold and flower garlands, saffron-toned robe) is a probable match with a person, but the image does not clearly confirm this.2013-06-23 +1 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copies
