Outdoor photo of a paduka procession departure at a temple courtyard. On the left, a person in saffron/orange robes with a white and orange flower garland stands on a striped mat and gestures while speaking. Behind and beside them, a group of men in white shirts and white dhotis stand barefoot; several hold brass or gold-coloured pots and one holds a flat framed item. A large multicoloured canopy with tasselled fringe, blue and orange panels and a white emblem shelters a bare-chested older man with white hair, a white cloth over his head and a beaded necklace, who holds the umbrella pole. Plain grey block walls, a water tank and trees form the background. Many people are visible, about 9 to 10.
