A photograph of a procession on a paved path beside leafy trees. A central man wears a maroon turban with a gold ornament, a long garland of white and pink flowers, a heavy gold necklace and bangles, and reddish-brown robes; he walks barefoot and smiles. Beside him a man in a white dhoti and a red-robed figure bow low to the ground. Behind them, ceremonial umbrellas in silver, yellow, pink and blue are held aloft by several people in reddish-brown and orange robes. Two women in light grey and white shawls stand among devotees watching the procession. A man on the left carries a brass pot wrapped in an orange cloth with green leaves.
