Outdoor photo of a procession by a palm-fringed village setting. A man in orange robes and a white floral garland with a saffron-and-gold head wrap and long swept-back hair smiles while feeding a small piece of food into the open mouth of a woman in white with an orange shawl. Behind them an orange-robed attendant holds a gold trident-topped staff, and a red parasol with tasselled fringe is held overhead. Other women in white and blue saris with bindis and necklaces stand nearby, and a thatched hut and whitewashed building with a framed portrait appear in the background. The gold and orange trident staff and red umbrella suggest a ceremonial annadhan procession.
