A procession on a paved courtyard with palm trees and a red wall behind. At centre, a long-haired man in a red-orange garment with gold border and a heavy gold necklace and red-and-white flower garland walks smiling, hands joined in greeting. Around him, men and women in saffron-red robes wear rudraksha malas and gold-bordered dhotis, some with palms pressed together. A bald man in white with a grey shawl stands at left, and a woman in orange blouse and red sari holds her hands together in greeting. A man at lower right in white shirt and dhoti plays a frame drum. Ornamental umbrellas with blue and red canopies, a tall staff, and a golden trident-topped standard appear behind the group, with a kalasha offering held in the procession.2015-01-04August 20 20142014-08-20 +1 copiesDecember 22 20182018-12-22 +1 copiesDecember 05 20142014-12-05Outdoor procession under bright sunlight beneath palm trees on a paved courtyard.
