A photograph of a procession entrance at a red-walled temple doorway at night, with string lights overhead. A figure with a tall, swept-up dark hairstyle wears a deep maroon robe, a yellow-and-green garland, and holds a silver trident (trishul) upright; a decorated silver-and-red parasol with fringe is raised above a group. Beside them, two women in saffron/orange saris stand with their backs to the camera, and a woman in a white sari with gold border stands at the right holding a small brass plate. Left and right elements show a dark wooden door frame and a glimpse of a lit hall. The scene suggests a ceremonial procession, not a confirmed event.
