A photograph of a procession on a stone-paved path between red walls, with palms and trees behind. Lead figures carry ornate brass and gold staffs topped with finials, and several decorated parasols in red, orange, blue and maroon with embroidered panels march overhead. A man in a red dhoti and dark top at right carries a staff, and a woman in a pale yellow kurta and teal trousers at left walks barefoot holding a staff. Behind them, devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, saffron and red clothing walk in a line. Several onlookers stand along the right edge, including a young man in a grey jacket with a backpack. Watermarked copyright text appears on the right side, which I have not transcribed.

A procession of devotees walks along a sandy-orange stone path flanked by dense green trees, at what appears to be an ancient temple site. Leading the group, a figure in an orange-red dhoti and orange shawl with a red garland and beaded necklaces walks beneath a large orange ceremonial parasol. Behind them, many devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas carry long blue-tipped staffs and wear orange-red headcloths and sashes.
