Outdoor photograph of a procession on a dirt path beside a white wall and a dark metal gate, with orange marigold garlands strung overhead and leafy trees behind. A central figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair and a gold beaded necklace, walks with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him, a man in orange robes walks with hands joined in front of his chest. Behind them, men in white dhotis and kurtas, some with orange shawls and a rudraksha-style mala, follow along the path, with one younger man in a yellow shirt among them.
