caption: The zebu oxen are given rest and stand freed of the <PERSON> yoke, named for the cross member fits in front of the withers (shoulder blades). Pilgrims make their way to the Ananda Temple for the annual festival honoring the <PERSON>. A caravan of bullock carts pull into the deep ruts on the shoulder of an ancient dirt road on the outskirts of a small rural town. Both drovers and oxen enjoy the small pools of shade provided by the overhanging dense green branches of a copse near the bend of the dirt road. They rest and eat a simple meal.
