A procession on a paved path moves toward the camera. A central bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long white flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks barefoot under a multicoloured fringed parasol. Drummers and musicians in orange dhotis, some with ash markings, play instruments on either side, and a white-clad attendant walks nearby. Trees and a pale sky frame the scene.
