At centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-brown dhoti-style wrap with broad gold borders, a large ornate gold necklace with a pendant, gold armbands and a shawl across his shoulders. Around him, young people in maroon and orange robes with gold borders walk with palms pressed together in anjali. A young man on the right wears orange robes and a rudraksha mala and holds his hands in anjali; another person at far right raises a long brass horn.

A bare-chested man at centre, with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a large ornate gold necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala, wears a saffron-orange shawl and orange dhoti with gold borders, and gold armlets and bangles. He smiles and walks forward. Around him, young girls and women in maroon and red saris and dresses with gold borders press their palms together in greeting. A boy beside him plays a long curved brass horn, and a boy in maroon plays a drum. Several children in orange and maroon clothing follow in the line.2013-07-02A photograph of a group of people in an open courtyard before an orange-brick wall. A central man in a rust-brown dhoti and wrap, with a large pale yellow-and-white flower garland, a red bindi and a rudraksha mala, walks barefoot along a woven straw mat. Around him, young men and women in orange, peach and maroon robes stand with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas; a woman on the left presses her palms together in namaste, and a drummer on the right plays a drum.

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.2013-07-17July 03 20132013-07-03A procession of young people in orange and maroon ceremonial clothing walks barefoot across a paved courtyard before a red brick wall.
