A photograph of a Hindu ceremonial procession in an outdoor temple setting. A central figure stands on a raised ornate palanquin-style platform draped in orange cloth, wearing an orange robe, a white and gold garland and an orange head covering. Two attendants in orange garments flank him, one holding a long decorated staff and another an orange fan or whisk. Marigold garlands hang across the platform and a brass lamp or vessel is visible at the front. Several more people in light clothing stand in the background among the crowd, with a sunlit wall behind.
