A photograph of a procession scene outdoors. A bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead wears a rust-brown robe and a long rudraksha mala, and has a garland of white jasmine and red roses draped around his neck. Two attendants hold up the garland and another hand raises a dark object above him. Behind him, a green and white umbrella canopy and a gold-bordered ceremonial cloth are visible. In the foreground, two people with long braided hair and orange shawls face away from the camera. A figure in white with a gold-bordered cloth stands at left. Possibly a person depiction; appearance-based identity is uncertain.
