A photograph of a procession outdoors beneath leafy trees. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron shawl over a bare upper body, a long garland of white flowers with orange, green and purple accents, and rudraksha beads on his chest. Behind him, a woman in an orange shawl and white garment and other people in white and cream clothes hold tall ornate silver staffs with trident-like finials. Several bespectacled men in light shirts stand in the background. The scene reads as a ceremonial procession, with the central man's cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha.
