Night photograph of a street procession outside a temple area. At the centre, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a rust-brown robe and a large garland of white, yellow and green flowers around his neck, with white markings on his forehead. He holds a small silver bowl, and an attendant in white clothes with gold-bordered cloth and a gold necklace pours or offers from a small vessel. Beside them, a younger man in an orange robe and orange shawl holds a decorated brass pot with white contents. Around them stand many people in orange and white robes, rudraksha beads and gold chains, some with white ash markings. A parking sign and a blue shutter are visible in the background, and a white-clad onlooker in the foreground faces the group with hands together.
