Night photo of a procession on a dirt path in front of a red wall strung with multicoloured lights and tassels. A central figure in a rust-brown turban and rust-brown dhoti with yellow borders walks forward holding a silver trident and a tall silver staff, wearing layered beaded necklaces, a white and green flower garland, and orange sandals. Behind him, several men in yellow and brown ritual cloth follow, some holding a tall pole. Potted plants line the side of the path. The central figure shows distinctive ceremonial adornments and a trident, a compatible but not fully certain a person appearance cue, so the identity is marked as probable.
