Outdoor procession in front of a white building with red trim and the red sign HIMALAYA. A long-haired man in orange robes, hands joined in namaste, walks barefoot centre-frame beneath a large multicoloured umbrella with fringe and gold finial, carried by an attendant. Around him men in orange shawls hold yellow and green ceremonial banners with bird emblems. Behind, a crowd in orange and red garments watches from a stone-walled terrace; a woman with blonde hair and sunglasses in orange top and khaki trousers stands with palms pressed together. The scene reads as a sannyasi-led procession with devotees.
