A procession walks along a paved path beside a long terracotta-red corrugated metal wall under a clear sky. Behind him a woman in an orange sari with a red-and-yellow garland and other devotees in orange, saffron and white dhotis walk. A man in white dhoti and shirt holds a long pole carrying a white canopy with multicoloured tassels, and a drummer in orange with a drum follows. Loose gravel lies at left and a white tent stands in the background.2016-11-23Outdoor procession on stone steps before a red multi-storey building, with a chain-link railing and rows of black shivalingam-style stone bases behind. A man in the centre wears a deep rust-red sleeveless garment with a long rudraksha mala, a white forehead mark, and long dark hair swept back, walking with a calm expression. Around him, several men and women in saffron-orange robes carry a tall golden-yellow staff with a fringed canopy at the top; one attendant wears a white-and-gold silk shawl, and another in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and sandal-coloured body marks walks beside them. Drummers in saffron stand at the left edge. Several people wear white forehead tripundras. The mood is ceremonial.2018-01-01June 07 20162016-06-07 +1 copiesA photograph of a procession on bare sandy ground in front of a red building with air conditioning units.
