A bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks at the centre beneath a tall multicoloured silk canopy held on a long pole. Around him, men in saffron-orange dhotis with gold-bordered white dhotis carry brass pots and a conch-like vessel. Palm trees, a wire fence and a brick structure stand behind. The bearded man in the rust-brown robe is distinctively clothed with garland and mala, but his appearance alone does not establish identity, so no probable label is applied.2017-01-01October 31 20142014-10-31Outdoor procession on a brick-paved courtyard under ornate umbrellas (chatras) with fringed green, red and gold canopies. A bare-chested man with long, swept-back black hair wears a rust-brown dhoti-style cloth, a white and orange flower garland, and gold armbands; he stands with palms joined before a line of devotees. Behind him, bare-chested men in orange dhotis and rudraksha malas walk beside white-clad people, a woman in a gold-green dress, and a woman in a white sari with a red shawl, all with hands folded in greeting. Trees and a sandy kolam or rangoli design appear on the ground. Page tags reference Navaratri and darshan, but no such event is legible in the image.2016-10-08March 11 20172017-03-11 +1 copies
