A procession moves along a temple lane past yellow-ochre walls and a pale temple gopuram-style structure. Two saffron-robed men in front wear rudraksha and bead malas, gold ornaments and head bands; the man on the right holds a long wooden staff and has white-painted markings on his face. Behind them, saffron-clad sannyasis and men in white dhotis and shirts walk in the crowd. Some of the figures carry red cloth bundles. The scene looks like a ritual or ceremonial procession with devotees accompanying the robed figures.
