Outdoor photograph of a wet concrete path through a garden with orange flowering shrubs and green plants. An orange umbrella is held overhead. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe, a large garland of orange and red flowers, and a rudraksha-style necklace; this is a possible a person with a distinctive appearance, as the figure is in the centre of the procession, wearing saffron garments and a flower garland. Around them, shirtless men in white and yellow dhotis walk barefoot, one bald man with a tilak on his forehead, and several men in white shirts and white dhotis follow in saffron robes. A bald man in the foreground is partly visible at the bottom right, pouring or bowing, with wet hair and a rudraksha mala. The scene appears to be a procession or ritual walk along a path after rain.
