Outdoor photograph of a procession at dusk along a sandy riverbank path lined with pilgrims and saffron flags. At the centre, a man in a saffron-red robe wears a long white and red floral garland and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, holding up a hand in greeting; a large red and gold umbrella with a trident emblem shades him. Surrounding men wear saffron cloths, white dhotis and bare torsos with beaded malas, some barefoot. A cameraman with a video camera stands at the right edge, and a crowd fills the background.
