A photograph of a procession of saffron-robed men and women ascending red stone steps. Several in orange and maroon cloth carry long curved brass horns raised overhead, and one man beats a hand drum. A bare-chested man in front of the group wears a rudraksha mala and walks ahead. A white-clad attendant at upper right plays a long horn, and a woman in orange carries a silver kalasha-style vessel. Near the bottom, a man in maroon with a rudraksha mala stands beside a low seat draped with patterned cloth and a blue and orange runner bearing the printed word a person. The scene is a ceremonial procession with horn players and offerings. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.
