Dusk procession on a dirt path with palm trees and a lit float in the background. A central man in rust-red robes and a white-and-red flower garland over a brown rudraksha-bead necklace smiles and walks forward. To his left a bare-chested young man in orange with a white forehead mark holds a tall gold staff, and behind them a red and gold canopy with fringe is held aloft. Several other people in orange and saffron robes, rudraksha malas and marigold garlands walk in the procession, and one man on the far left raises a camera on a pole. The scene reads as a ritual parade.
