Outdoor procession with a central man in a dark red-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing a heavy gold-bead necklace and a thick brown bead mala, draped in long garlands of white jasmine and red and yellow flowers, smiling and walking with his palms joined in a greeting. Beside him an older man in an orange-and-cream shawl and white dhoti, also garlanded, presses his palms together. Behind them saffron-robed monks with shaved heads and gold chains walk under a decorated umbrella, with a tall gold staff and palm trees behind. White-clad men in garlands flank the procession, which appears to be a ceremonial outdoor walk.
