A photograph of an outdoor procession on a wet concrete courtyard with palm trees and a red boundary wall behind. In the centre a person with swept-back dark hair, a red tilak, gold earrings and a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant walks in an orange saffron wrap, with gold armbands. Behind him a man in a red dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala plays a long curved golden horn raised overhead. A figure in an orange wrap stands at the left edge, and a person in white stands in the distance under a roofed shelter. The distinctive orange-and-gold adornment of the central figure supports the a person label.
