A photograph of a procession on a dirt path beside corrugated-iron shacks and scrubby trees. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a gold-coloured garland and a rudraksha-style necklace. Flanking and following are about four men in white dhotis and white shirts, one with a full beard, several with orange shawls. A multicoloured canopy umbrella is held above the group. Discarded sheets of paper and rubble lie along the path, and a printed orange-toned fabric banner hangs on the shack wall.
