Outdoor photo of a procession on a striped red and white step. A man in saffron robes and a white flower garland with red tassels raises both hands and smiles toward the crowd, with a red and multicoloured parasol above him. Around him, saffron-clad men in orange robes and maroon-bordered shawls stand close, some in white dhotis; a white-clad man in front is barefoot. Women in white saris with beaded necklaces stand at right, and a bald man in orange with a rudraksha mala stands at left edge. Some figures reach toward the central man. Roughly a dozen people are visible.
