Outdoor procession on a dirt path under a clear sky, with several colourful ceremonial parasols (red, green, yellow with gold motifs and fringed edges) held aloft on long poles. In the centre, a bearded man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala walks barefoot, with a younger saffron-clad person beside him wearing a white flower garland and rudraksha beads. Around them are men and women in white and yellow dhotis and saris, and a trident (trishul) carried up front. Trees and a stone wall form the background. The bearded central figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.2008-12-25A procession on a dirt path between white tents, led by a central figure in orange robes with a white and pink flower garland and a rudraksha mala, flanked by orange-robed attendants carrying a golden trident and a staff.
