Outdoor procession outside a building with a sign reading "SRI ANANDESHWARA TEMPLE". A bald man in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala stands centre-left, hands joined in front, with dark-rimmed glasses. Beside him a man in white dhoti and a red-orange shawl stands with arms crossed. To the right, younger men in white with yellow shawls and white attire walk under a red and gold canopy with tasselled fringe. On the left, a man in white holds a brass kalasha with red flowers on a tray, near women in white and orange saris. A crowd watches from behind. The orange-robed man is an appearance-based candidate for a person with only moderate cues, so the identification is uncertain.
