Outdoor procession on a green lawn with a tree in the right foreground and buildings and hills behind. Two drummers in white dhotis and shirts carry drums with pink cloth straps, and two pipe players in white play long wind instruments. Ahead walks a man in a saffron-orange robe and orange turban, wearing a long white flower garland with red blossoms, and a man in white shirt and trousers with glasses walks beside him.

The scene reads as a ceremonial procession.2006-09-17July 26 20102010-07-26October 06 20062006-10-06 +1 copiesA photograph of a procession walking along a dirt road lined with palm trees. A musician in a white dhoti and light shirt plays a long wind instrument (nadaswaram-style pipe) in the foreground, and another man beats a barrel drum (dhol/thavil) with a wrap over his shoulder at the right edge. Behind them a man in a long-sleeved saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair walks in the centre; the figure's appearance is a candidate match with cues of long hair and saffron clothing, but identity is uncertain. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, one in a white kurta, walk with hands folded, and small children in grey uniforms stand at the left with palms pressed together. A white vehicle is visible in the background.2007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12December 23 20092009-12-23Outdoor procession on a dusty dirt path flanked by dry trees under a hazy sky.
