Photograph of a procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and white walls. At centre, a figure in orange robes wears a long white-and-orange garland and walks under a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with fringed edges and a golden finial, while holding a staff. Attendants in orange and white robes, including one with a red shawl and prayer beads, walk along a red carpet between metal railings. Devotees in white clothing stand on both sides, one holding up a brass vessel. White T-shirts with printed designs hang on the walls. The gathering suggests a Brahmotsavam celebration procession.
