Night photo of a procession on a sandy road. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a red-and-yellow shawl and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded, beside a man in white holding a tall pole topped by a red-and-white umbrella-like canopy. Around them a crowd of devotees in white and yellow-orange saris and white clothing carries orange-red flags. A red tractor with a yellow stripe stands at right, and bright floodlight beams light the scene. Behind the crowd is an orange-walled building with a dome. The central saffron-robed figure with a rudraksha mala is a person candidate, with a sannyasi-style robe and mala as the qualifying cues, but the face-free appearance is not fully certain.
