Outdoor photo of a procession crowd in bright sunlight. In the foreground, a figure in an orange robe extends an open hand toward the group. Behind him, a man in a saffron-yellow garment with a red-orange shawl and a long beaded mala holds a tall wooden staff upright. Beside him, a man in a white kurta wears a white-and-orange beaded necklace. A smiling boy in a brown patterned sweater and jeans stands in the centre, while men in white shirts and dhotis and a man in dark trousers surround him. Some people wear orange shawls, and a bright sun flares over the scene against a wall and trees.
