A photograph of a procession on a road in the early evening, with a line of men in white shirts and white dhotis walking behind ceremonial umbrellas and banners. On the left, a large red, yellow and blue decorated canopy umbrella is carried over the procession, and on the right a red and gold ratha-style canopy with a blue emblem is borne aloft. Several people wave small orange and red flags. Traffic includes white cars, a white van, trucks and motorcycles on the road, with a green road sign overhead and hills in the distant background. The procession appears to be a pada yatra moving along a highway.

A photograph of a pada yatra procession on a rural road at dusk. Several people in white clothes walk behind two ornate decorated umbrellas or canopies, one multicoloured with a golden finial and a red-and-green mandala-like pattern, the other smaller and teal-and-red with a blue emblem. Many marchers carry saffron and orange flags, and a few women wear saffron and orange saris. A person in orange robes stands at right taking a photograph. A white SUV and other vehicles travel along the road beyond the crowd, with a green road sign and a distant hill range behind. Overall the scene is a roadside procession of devotees.February 10 20092009-02-10 +1 copies2009-glimpses-of-kodikkan-ratha-pada-yatraNovember 11 20102010-11-112010 - Photo Album +2 copiesJanuary 29 20092009-01-29 +1 copies2010 - Photo AlbumJuly 24 20102010-07-24 +2 copiesA dirt road procession of children and a few adults in an outdoor compound.
