A photograph of a procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees. Men in white dhotis and shirts carry tall silver staffs topped with trident-like finials, and orange and multicoloured canopy umbrellas with embroidered fringes are carried above the group. Behind them, a drummer in white and saffron-robed monks walk along the path. The man at the front left wears a white kurta and carries a trident-topped staff; the man at the front right wears a white polo shirt with a printed portrait and holds a staff. No a person candidate is clearly visible in appearance, so the identity remains unsure.
