Outdoor photo of a procession at a temple-street area with banana plants and flower garlands. A tall, long-haired figure in orange clothing and a gold armlet, with a white mark on the forehead, stands centre-right beside a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a gold necklace. Another man in orange with a beaded necklace and a shaved-headed man in orange with gold necklaces walk nearby. Women in white and red saris and a man in white shirt stand behind, near a gold-painted ceremonial cart with a floral garland. A brass kalasha vessel appears at lower right. The figure's appearance does not clearly establish the identity claimed by the page, so the candidate is marked unsure.
