Photograph of a procession walking along a narrow dirt path lined with wooden rail fencing, low green shrubs and tall trees at dusk. In the centre a figure in saffron-orange robes wears a white and orange flower garland and a leopard-print shawl, carrying a long staff. Surrounding men in orange and saffron robes walk alongside, one carrying a small bundle, with a few people in white clothes behind. The figure's distinctive long hair and ornate adornments are visible; identity uncertain from appearance alone, so described by role as a procession leader in saffron robes.
