Night photograph of a procession walking along a striped woven mat on a paved outdoor path. In the centre, a bearded man in a saffron-orange shawl and a long white garland with orange and green flowers walks barefoot, eyes lowered. Behind him and to the left, devotees wear orange garments and rudraksha malas, one man in white dhoti with gold border carries a copper vessel, and a young man in an orange t-shirt and orange dhoti walks at the right edge. Street lights and dark trees form the background. Only the central figure is distinctively adorned; the presence of a candidate for a person is an appearance-based judgement that is uncertain, so it is labelled as probable here with the cues described.
