Outdoor photo of a procession gathering on a paved courtyard beside red-painted walls and palm trees. Many devotees in saffron and orange-red robes stand with palms pressed together in anjali, several holding long brass ceremonial horns (long horns). In the foreground a shaved-headed monk in orange bows low with rudraksha beads visible. A cameraman in a dark vest and white shirt films the scene with a video camera. A few older men in white clothing stand among the group. No clearly identifiable central figure is in focus, so the a person field is unsure.
