A photograph of a ceremonial procession on a brick-paved platform in front of a red multi-storey building with water tanks. A large dark stone structure shaped like an arched tomb-like shrine is wrapped in a garland of marigolds, roses and green leaves in red, yellow, white and purple. A striped canopy umbrella with red, green, blue and white fringes is raised above it on a pole. Several men stand on and around the shrine: one in the centre wears an orange-brown robe and holds the shrine's edge, one wears a white shawl and a head covering, and one on the right wears an orange robe, rudraksha beads and a headband. Their gestures suggest a ritual or ceremonial offering at the shrine.
