A procession line of young boys in saffron and orange sannyasi-style cloths stands on a dirt ground beneath a corrugated shelter and trees. Many boys have white sacred ash or tilak marks on their foreheads and bodies, and some wear rudraksha malas. On the left, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders holds a long staff topped with a ceremonial finial and bracelets, and he is looking at a phone. Behind the line, a flag with ornate embroidery is raised on a pole, and a videographer's camera is visible. A boy at right holds small cymbals or hand bells. The scene appears to be a ritual procession with a pada puja or satsang gathering.2014-08-17August 25 20172017-08-25August 31 20142014-08-31Outdoor festival scene on a dirt path beside a chain-link fence and green foliage.
