A dim outdoor photograph of a procession descending stone steps toward water at dusk. Under a large multicoloured canopy with a dove emblem, a figure in orange robes and a white flower garland walks at the centre, flanked by men in white shirts with yellow sashes. Behind, a seated figure in orange sits within a golden-framed throne-like palanquin decorated with garlands and fabric panels, and a person in white stands beside it. Another person in orange carries a silver tray. Many people are visible, some bathing in the water at the right edge.
