A photograph of a procession at an outdoor celebration. In the centre, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a white and green garland with rudraksha beads stands with palms pressed together in a greeting, smiling. Behind him, a man in white clothes holds a tall wooden pole raised overhead, and a man in white with an orange shawl and glasses stands at right beside a golden staff topped with a finial and a white fly-whisk. Colourful fringed canopy umbrellas in red, green, blue and yellow fill the background. Several people in white and saffron stand around the group. The scene appears to be a Guru Poornima procession with a ceremonial palanquin.
