Several saffron-robed monks in orange clothing walk across a stone platform, one holding a silver-coloured vessel.

Colourful multi-panelled umbrellas shade the procession. Women in saris and a man in white dhoti-style clothing stand along the edges with hands folded in namaste, and a bald man in white stands at the right edge. A small white shrine structure sits in the courtyard behind the group.
