A procession at a temple at dusk. In the centre, a bearded man in a rust-brown robe and matching turban, with a gold pendant and a long garland of yellow, white and red flowers draped over his shoulders, walks forward. A rudraksha mala hangs across his chest. Behind him a woman in a rust-brown sari with a gold border and a rudraksha mala follows. Around them, men in white dhotis with gold borders carry a silver staff and a ceremonial trident, and a shirtless man in orange cloth stands in the background. Spectators in white and grey clothing watch from the right beside a raised stone platform. Printed copyright text appears at lower right.
