A photograph of a procession at an open-sided hall with a corrugated roof and whitewashed walls with red and white stripes. Several men in saffron-orange robes walk down concrete steps, with the central figure wearing a saffron robe and a rudraksha mala and a white-bearded face, and another orange-robed man at his right. Two attendants in white dhotis and orange shoulder cloths stand beside them, and a figure in an orange robe at left holds a long staff. Behind, people in white ritual clothes stand on the steps, several holding large colourful decorated umbrellas with red, blue and yellow patterns and tassels, and others carry round red-and-gold drums. A white statue of a bull stands on a blue platform at upper left, and white kolam floor designs lie on the ground in front.
