Outdoor procession on a dirt road during a Dasara celebration at Sripuram, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Hyderabad. A smiling man with shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange saffron shawl over his chest and bare shoulder, with a long gold bead necklace and a gold armlet. He walks forward in the center. Behind him a man in white dhoti and white shirt with a red-bordered cloth balances a red-and-gold ceremonial figure with a red garland on his head. Other people in orange and white clothes walk alongside, and a crowd of children in colourful clothes, some with faces and hair smeared with coloured powder, follows. A white decorated structure and red doors stand in the background.
