Dusk procession on a dirt path with a red and gold umbrella overhead, carried by devotees. A central man in rust-brown sannyasi robes wears a long white and red flower garland and a dark wooden bead mala, smiling as he walks. Around him, devotees in orange and maroon robes carry tall golden staffs topped with tridents and ceremonial rods, and a rudraksha mala hangs on one woman's chest. Others in white and pastel dress walk behind in a crowd beneath dark trees and a low wall, with a building silhouette at dusk.
