A bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks at the centre beneath a tall multicoloured silk canopy held on a long pole. Around him, men in saffron-orange dhotis with gold-bordered white dhotis carry brass pots and a conch-like vessel. Palm trees, a wire fence and a brick structure stand behind. The bearded man in the rust-brown robe is distinctively clothed with garland and mala, but his appearance alone does not establish identity, so no probable label is applied.2017-01-01A procession under a decorated tent with hanging colourful banners, lanterns and crystal chandeliers. At the centre a bearded man in a brown robe and a gold ornamented necklace, with a long pink-and-white garland and a brown headpiece, smiles and raises his hand in greeting.

A man in a white dhoti with a golden border runs at left, and an older man in glasses at right holds his hands in anjali. A decorated palanquin canopy and offering trays with flowers appear in the background.2016-12-03January 01 20172017-01-01
