A procession moves through a bright, tiled hall with a white ceiling and fluorescent lights. In the foreground a young girl in an orange sari with gold border carries a large orange parasol with fringed edge. Behind her, several men wear white dhotis and white kurta-style shirts; one wears a white shirt with a red shawl around his neck, and another bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a beaded necklace carries a long staff. A dark blue parasol is raised at the upper right, and additional orange, red and green parasols appear among the marchers, with participants walking in ritual procession.
