Outdoor procession on a dirt road at dusk beside a green gate and wall with a blue Kannada-language sign. Two colourful umbrellas with blue and red canopies and gold poles lead the group, with trishul staffs visible. At centre, a man in orange robes and a garland of red and white flowers walks barefoot, hand raised in greeting. Beside him, a bearded man in orange holds a gold staff, and a shaven-headed man in orange with gold necklaces carries a brass item in both hands. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl with a silver staff, and many men in white dhotis and white shirts with lanyards follow. Bananas and palms frame the scene.
