A street procession moves past a temple with red and white striped walls and a gopuram tower. Two large colourful umbrellas with yellow, blue, red and green panels and fringed edges shelter the procession. At the centre, a man with a long dark braid wears an orange-saffron turban, orange robes and a dark rudraksha mala, walking with his hands together. Around him, saffron-clad sannyasis and men in white shirts and white dhotis walk closely, with a crowd of devotees behind and women in colourful saris visible. A loudspeaker horn is mounted on a pole at right. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in orange with a turban and rudraksha mala, walking in procession.
