A large ornate umbrella-canopy with gold and red embroidery and crystal fringe is held above a figure in the centre; a man in saffron/orange robes and a rudraksha mala gestures outward, with many hands raised. A uniformed police officer in a dark cap stands at left. Behind the crowd are a red-and-green striped building with arches and small orange flags.

A colourful multicoloured canopy umbrella is held above the central group. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk within the crowd, one with a bare shaved head and orange cloth, another in a pale orange robe. Men in white dhotis and uniformed police officers in khaki stand nearby, and brass ritual lamps are carried at the left edge. Strings of lights outline the temple walls and a tall gopuram rises behind. Several saffron-clad figures in the procession are visible, and a figure with long swept-back hair and ornate orange-gold clothing near the palanquin may be a person, though the identification is uncertain.2008-02-17May 06 20162016-05-06Photo 11702492 +1 copiesNight procession at an outdoor event with a large red and gold canopy umbrella carried on a pole above a figure in the centre.
