A procession walks barefoot down a covered walkway lined with metal handrails, under a corrugated roof with steel trusses. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a red-and-white flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala walks ahead of the group. Behind him, men in white dhotis and yellow shawls carry a brass vessel and ritual items, while two women in white saris and girls in orange and pink clothing join with hands folded in namaste. Two large multicoloured umbrellas with tassels are held above the front of the procession. Decorative striped pillars with bird motifs stand along the walls, and a cameraman films from the right side.
