A procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a wet, patterned marble pathway between white temple buildings with domed roofs and red-and-cream arches. A man in a maroon robe and a flower garland of white and pink blooms walks at the centre, sheltered by a bright orange umbrella and a tall red-and-gold ceremonial parasol. Nearby, a sannyasi in orange with a crimson-trimmed cloth walks beside him, and other monks in orange turbans and robes follow, one holding a striped shawl and a prayer mala. Light overcast sky and wet ground suggest a temple procession.
