A procession moves through a narrow stone passage of a temple, flanked by carved granite walls and yellow metal barriers. At the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a long gold-and-beaded garland, and carries a silver staff. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks in step. Men in white dhotis and shirts, some holding staffs or wearing lanyards, surround them, and a figure in green and red follows behind. Further back, people fill a bright gateway toward an outdoor temple courtyard.
