Behind him a group of saints in orange and maroon robes, some with shaved heads and rudraksha malas, walk alongside devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with lanyards. A woman in orange sari with a mala and a man in a dark shirt are among the group. Some people are visible in the background, and unfinished concrete buildings and cranes stand under a clear sky.
