Outdoors under a clear blue sky, a group walks through a stone arched gateway below a large white seated Shiva statue holding a trident and a drum-like instrument, with a crescent on its head and a rudraksha mala. Several robed men in saffron and orange garments and white dhotis walk forward; the lead figure in saffron wears a rudraksha mala and carries a small object. A red-and-orange umbrella is held above the group. Nearby, barefoot children and onlookers watch while stone blocks lie along a low brick wall.
