A morning procession walks along a dirt road lined with dry grass and trees under hazy sky. Several bare-chested men in white dhotis with gold borders wear rudraksha malas; one carries a metal pot and another a long staff. A central figure in a rust-brown robe with a matching turban and a heavy gold necklace walks with a dark staff. Saffron-robed sadhus walk among them, and white-clad attendants follow behind. A white van and a red-roofed building appear in the distance.
