Outdoor festival procession at the Brahmotsav celebration with a dense crowd of devotees in white and saffron-orange shawls. A young woman in the centre wears a gold headband and a gold-and-red garland, with a sheer white cloth and a rudraksha-style necklace. Behind her, a man with long curly hair and a neatly trimmed beard wears an orange shawl over white. Ceremonial items are visible: a large peacock-feather umbrella with a red circular emblem, a gold trident-topped staff, and a red canopy with colourful tassels overhead. Many devotees are smiling or pressing their palms together, and a few older people stand at the edges.
