Outdoor street procession in a busy temple town. A central man in orange-red robes, with a long coiled hair knot, a red tilak on the forehead, a rudraksha mala and a white flower garland, walks with palms pressed together in namaste and a broad smile. Shirtless devotees with rudraksha malas and orange cloths walk around him, and a man in a teal shirt with a backpack and a man in a green shirt and cap stand in the foreground among a crowd. Strings of lights and garlands hang from a canopy on the left, with multi-storey buildings and palm trees behind.
