Night procession at a KAILASA temple courtyard with a row of colourful parasols (umbrellas) carried overhead in red, blue, pink, yellow and green. Many people in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand in rows, several with palms pressed together in namaskar. Near the centre, a man in a pink-and-white dhoti and a pink turban wears a long rudraksha mala and bows with folded hands. Beside him, a bearded man with long dark hair, a white flower garland and a brown robe also stands with palms joined. A cameraman in white stands at right beside a bright lit vehicle. The scene appears to be a ritual procession with devotees and parasols.
