A photograph of a procession inside a covered hall with a metal railing lining a red-carpeted walkway. A central man in saffron-orange robes and a white head cloth, wearing a long white and red flower garland, smiles and raises his hand in greeting. Behind him an attendant holds a red and multicoloured parasol with tassels and a golden trident-topped staff. Another saffron-robed man with a long beard walks beside him. Devotees on both sides, many with palms pressed together in anjali, watch from behind the railing. A man wears a white shirt and bangles, and a woman in a pink and maroon sari stands at the right. White T-shirts with a circular logo hang on the back wall.
