A photograph of a procession inside a pillared hall with a brick lattice window. In the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged dhoti, wearing long rudraksha malas, a gold pendant, a white cross-marked tilak and a red-and-white headband, walks while smiling and holding the arm of an elderly man in saffron robes with a teal-green shawl, white jasmine garlands and red flowers. Around them, saffron-clad sannyasis, one holding a metal kalasha-like vessel, and men in white dhotis and shirts crowd the procession. A cameraman films on the right. The central figure's appearance and orange-robed rudraksha-mala presentation give a person cue, presented as a procession participant.
