Many people in white dhotis, white saris and white kurtas stand with hands folded in anjali, while others in orange and saffron robes stand or kneel nearby. Yellow marigold petals are scattered on the ground, and a woman in white holds a garland of yellow flowers. A striped canopy and a cross-bar structure stand at the right, with a few white statues visible behind the trees. Several figures in orange clothing appear at the right edge. The scene suggests a devotional reception or procession line.2009-12-21Outdoor dusk ritual in a palm-lined courtyard at night. On the left, a tall lit oil lamp stands on a white pedestal beside an orange-red stepped platform. A white-clad figure and several monks in saffron robes tend a small table with offerings and burning lamps. A line of devotees stands in a row on the right: women in orange and white saris with hands folded in anjali, and men in white dhotis with yellow shawls. Round kolam-like patterns are drawn in the dirt in front of the line. The scene reads as a deepam lamp-lighting for Karthikai Deepam.2010-11-21Outdoor evening scene at dusk beneath dark palm trees, with a large group of people standing in a loose semicircle on bare earth. Many women wear orange, red-bordered white, and yellow saris, while men wear white dhotis and shirts, saffron robes, and tan or pink shirts. Several people press their palms together in prayer. On the left, a man in saffron robes with a shaved head stands near a figure in orange robes, and a drum is visible in the middle of the group. Small stone figures and green shrubs line the ground at the left. Several people are visible in the background. The orange-robed figure on the left has a shaved head and a short beard, which does not meet the cue threshold for identification, so no identification is made.2010-11-21
