A photograph of a procession walking under a canopy of pink, orange and red decorated umbrellas with beaded fringes. At the centre, a man in a red-brown dhoti and an orange-red turban wears a long white garland and layered gold necklaces, and walks barefoot beside robed attendants in saffron and orange. Devotees in white and in red-brown saris line the path, some with palms joined in namaste, and a man in a white kurta and a white dhoti stands at left. A man in white and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti are visible at the edges. Several people are visible, roughly two dozen, and the scene looks like a ritual procession of honour.
