In the centre, a man in an orange-and-yellow-bordered dhoti and shawl wears a beaded headband and a long necklace of white beads. Beside him, a figure in an orange robe with a headband walks behind, and to the right a bare-chested man in an orange garment with yellow borders and rudraksha bracelet looks on. A man in white with gold-bordered dhoti, a rudraksha mala and a bracelet walks at right-centre. Another man in white stands behind them, and a uniformed police officer in khaki appears in the background.2012-05-21May 21 20122012-05-21September 30 20112011-09-30Night procession at a Kumbh Mela style fair with orange-lit tents and strings of lights. A bald priest with a white vertical tilak and bare chest wears a gold necklace and a yellow dhoti with a green border, walking in front. Behind him a man bare-chested in a white dhoti carries a woven basket on his head, and white-clad attendants in white dhotis and shirts follow. A young attendant at right holds a long brass ceremonial staff. Torches burn in the background, and a decorated canopy and a figure on a palanquin-style float are visible above the crowd. No clear a person candidate is visible, so the procession participants are described by role only.2013-02-11May 21 20122012-05-21A dim temple corridor at night where a procession of men walks toward the camera. In the centre, a smiling man wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a red-beaded rudraksha necklace, a crown-like headpiece and a sandalwood-toned bead garland, carrying nothing in hand. Beside him, a bare-chested man in orange garments with a white headband and mala beads walks barefoot. Other devotees in orange robes and men in white dhotis follow, one holding a bundle of yellow cloth and another a round blue-and-white decorated object. Several figures appear partly in shadow, and a uniformed arm is visible at the right edge. The procession suggests a temple ritual walk.2012-05-21December 17 20112011-12-17November 16 20152015-11-16May 21 20122012-05-21
