Outdoor ceremonial procession on a dirt ground in late daylight. A man in orange robes and a white floral garland with a tassel, long hair swept back, a tilak on his forehead, walks at the right edge, flanked by men in white dhotis with orange shawls. Men in black shirts carry ornate umbrellas in red, orange, and cream with fringed tassels, one with a red and gold cushion-like tray held aloft. A low building with a tiled roof and a white van stand in the background.
