In the foreground, shirtless men in orange lower garments walk with arms raised, and a man in a white dhoti with a gold waist sash spins a stream of fire or flame at the right. Orange powder or kumkum flies through the air above him. A decorated orange flag on a pole stands at the left, a bright light glows behind the crowd, and a red vehicle with a canopy appears at right. Several people wear rudraksha-style necklaces and white or orange cloth. No one can be identified with certainty from this view, so no figure is marked as a person.2016-10-30August 25 20172017-08-25 +1 copiesNight procession outdoors on sandy ground with many devotees dancing in saffron and orange robes, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, one wearing a white kurta and white turban-like cloth.
