Photograph of a procession entering a building doorway from an outdoor street with parked buses behind. At the centre, a bare-chested, shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl wears a long white and orange flower garland and carries a trident-like staff; a second man in orange robes walks at his side with hands folded. Behind them, a woman in a white sari holds a brass plate of offerings, another woman in a red-patterned sari carries a small child, and a group of men in white shirts and dhotis follow in a crowd. An older man in a white shirt stands at right holding a garland, and a photographer's camera is visible at the lower left. Some people in the crowd appear to be devotees in traditional attire.
