Outdoor procession of saffron-robed devotees under bright daylight. A man in the centre wears a brown-and-gold dhoti-style garment, a long rudraksha mala, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace and a red bindi, with long swept-back hair; he is smiling and is an appearance-based a person candidate. Around him, shaven-headed men in orange and saffron cloth carry rudraksha malas; two on the left hold long poles topped with orange-and-red fringed ceremonial umbrellas bearing a bird emblem, and a man on the right holds a silver vessel on a tray decorated with a coconut or fruit, marigolds and leaves. Brick walls and a few onlookers are visible behind.
