Outdoor procession in bright daylight with a crowd of devotees. In the foreground, a man in white kurta with a yellow shawl leans in toward a man in orange robes wearing a long, swept-back hairstyle, multiple gold bead necklaces and a red tilak with white markings on his forehead. The man in orange holds a small silver dish with white powder. Behind them, saffron-robed sadhus with beards and rudraksha malas walk near a red and green canopy umbrella with tassels. Devotees in white, many women in sunglasses and saris, watch closely. Visible markings include vibhuti and kumkum.
