Many men in white dhotis and shirts, some bare-chested with white sacred marks on their foreheads, stand around in a crowd. Two men at the front carry offering plates; one holds a plate with a yellow fruit and a white sheet. A boy in a yellow checked shirt and dark trousers walks in the middle. A figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and long orange shawl with a beaded garland and a white forehead mark walks through the group; the figure has long hair swept back and is shown in the center of the crowd, so the a person candidate is unclear from appearance alone.2011-01-16July 07 20092009-07-07Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees and strings of white, purple and orange pennant flags. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron garment with gold border and a white and red flower garland, holding a small item in hand, walking forward with a smile.
