Outdoor photo of a procession in bright sunlight. A woman in a white sari with a yellow border and a red and white flower garland offers a sweet from a tray to a figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala who leans forward with mouth open. A large orange umbrella with fringe shades the scene. Around them are men in white kurtas with yellow shawls, another saffron-robed man with a rudraksha necklace, and a cameraman filming with a video camera. A tiled-roof building and tree stand behind. The figure in saffron has long swept hair and rudraksha beads, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
