A procession moves along a paved path lined with people. Multiple participants hold up large ornate umbrellas with fringed edges in orange, pink, yellow, blue and red tones on long red poles. At the centre, a man in an orange-saffron robe and maroon turban wears a large white and pink flower garland and walks behind a woman in a red-orange sari holding a brass tray with lamps. Several men in white dhotis and shirts carry umbrellas and drums, and a bare-chested man with long hair wears a rudraksha mala. Women in cream, yellow and white saris also hold umbrellas. Behind them, a crowd of devotees follows past a red building wall with trees. The atmosphere is ceremonial.
