A procession under a corrugated roof at an open pavilion. A central man in orange and saffron dhoti and shawl, with a white floral garland and a rudraksha mala, walks along a red carpet. Above him an orange and turquoise ceremonial umbrella is held aloft. Flanking him, attendants blow long brass horns, and one man in white holds a brass pot with flowers. Other men in saffron robes and white-clad attendants stand nearby, and palm trees show beyond the open sides. The event is a pada puja satsang.
