A photograph of an outdoor festival procession with a crowd. In the centre, a smiling man wears a rust-red turban with a silver crescent moon and a serpent ornament, a red bindi, heavy gold necklaces and a garland of white and pink flowers, and carries a tall silver trident-like staff. Around him stand devotees with white and ash markings, a bare-chested man wearing rudraksha beads, and a bearded man in glasses. Ornate red, gold and yellow decorative parasols with beaded fringes rise behind the crowd. The visible figure with the crescent turban and trident may be a person, based on the turban, ornate gold jewellery and trident cues, and the page indicates his presence at this event.
