Outdoor photograph of a procession on a sandy courtyard in front of a pink-walled building with corrugated roofs and palm trees. In the foreground, a man in saffron robes and an orange turban stands facing the camera, with a white-clad man walking past on the left. Behind them a crowd of men in white dhotis and women in saffron, orange and green saris stands beside several colourful ceremonial umbrellas with tassels. A decorated white figure and a trident-topped pole appear at the right edge, and a pile of sand is visible on the right. The man in saffron wears a rudraksha mala and no visible crown or swept hair, so identity cannot be determined from appearance.
