Outdoor temple procession under two red and green fringed parasols. Foreground, a bare-chested elderly man with a shaved head and red tilak wears saffron cloth, a long mala of carved white beads and a large gold pendant, and walks beside a younger smiling man in saffron cloth and a bead necklace who raises one hand in greeting. A third saffron-clad man with a gold chain stands behind them. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts, a uniformed police officer and a gopuram tower with palm trees fill the background.
