Outdoor procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walking past a whitewashed wall with red and blue painted bands. Two large ornate umbrellas with yellow, red, blue and green panels and fringed tassels are held over the group. Several saffron-clad men wear rudraksha and beaded malas, gold pendants and gold chest ornaments; one wears a crown-like headpiece. Men in white dhotis and white shirts walk alongside, and a boy in a red shirt and a man in white carry or support the procession. A person in a white shirt holds a microphone at left. Among the saffron-robed figures, a man with long swept-back hair wearing a gold necklace and rudraksha malas walks at center, but his appearance is not conclusively distinctive enough to be confirmed.
