Outdoor photo of a procession at a festival ground under a clear sky, with orange and red bunting strung between tall poles and banana plants lining the path. A bearded man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange shawl walks at the centre, holding a folded white cloth, while behind him a long-haired person in orange garments wears a white flower garland. Around them, people in white dhotis and kurtas walk barefoot or stand with palms pressed together in greeting. A decorated canopy umbrella with blue and red panels and gold finials rises in the background, and a white vehicle and small tents are visible behind the crowd. a person candidate: the bearded man in saffron has long swept-back hair? Not visible; his appearance is uncertain, so he is described only as a saffron-clad devotee walking in procession.
