A procession moves through a forested ruin in Cambodia, passing a collapsed stone temple with weathered blocks and a carved doorway. Under a large orange and gold umbrella, a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala wears a striped saffron-and-maroon dhoti and beaded necklace, smiling as he walks. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and red-and-orange shawl carries a staff and rudraksha beads. Around them, devotees in red and orange saffron clothing, many in wide red hats, walk among green trees, with a white megaphone visible near the umbrella. A trident-topped banner is visible at right. The crowd is large and spread across the frame, with many people in red and white.
