Indoor procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and red-and-white hanging decorations. Several men in saffron/orange robes with gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beads lead the procession; a bearded man in orange robes in the centre presses his palms together. Behind them, a row of young women and girls in white dress with white shawls, some with hair in braids, follow and gesture with folded hands. A man in white with a yellow shawl carries a large green leaf, and ornamental umbrella-like parasols in orange, gold and blue with floral and emblem designs are held aloft. Wall notice boards and framed photographs line the background, and a young boy in red stands at the left edge.
