A photograph of a street procession at dusk in front of pink sandstone temple buildings. At the centre, a smiling man in a rust-orange robe and turban wears a long gold-bead necklace and a dark-brown shawl, his palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a shaved-headed monk in a matching orange-brown robe and shawl smiles and reaches toward the crowd. A tall yellow parasol with sequin trim is held overhead. A man in a yellow kurta with folded hands faces them, and a trident-topped staff with red cloth is at the left edge. Several devotees and uniformed police line the street, and a banner is visible on a wall at right.
