In the foreground, a bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair wears a red-orange cloth and a thick red flower garland, and holds his hands over a decorated brass kalasha with flowers and a coconut, while two men in purple and white dhotis with white markings on their arms and chests reach toward it. Beside them, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a green border stands among people; a musician in orange plays a long wind instrument.

The central figure wears a red-and-white flower garland across his chest, gold bangles on his wrist, and a red cloth at his waist, and holds his arm out while a man beside him carries a green plant in a decorated pot. A man at right wears a saffron-yellow and white shawl with a rudraksha bead necklace. Background figures in ordinary clothes watch from a temple courtyard with a tiled roof. The shawl and bead cues are not enough to establish a person's presence, so the identity is unsure.2018-05-08A photograph of a procession outside a temple with red and white painted walls.
