A photograph of a procession on a street with a red and gold umbrella overhead. Four men in the foreground walk closely, two in white dhotis with gold borders and red rudraksha malas over bare chests, one in the centre with a red turban, a maroon-and-gold robe, layered gold and bead necklaces. Behind them other devotees in maroon and white clothing walk, some with garlands. Trees and a building with colourful hanging streamers appear in the background. A central figure wears a red turban and maroon-and-gold robe with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, but the face is not clearly distinguishable and identity is uncertain.
