A photograph of a procession walking through a dim temple corridor at night, with lit shops and glowing lamps behind. In the centre, a man in an orange-red saffron robe with a gold-coloured shawl border, a gold necklace and a gold crown or headband walks forward and smiles. He is the central figure and shows the most distinctive ceremonial adornment, so he is a person candidate. To his left, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads walks with his hands clasped. Behind him, a bald man in orange robes holds a folded white cloth and wears a rudraksha mala. On the right, a man in a white kurta wears a rudraksha mala and walks beside a bald man in orange robes. Five people are visible in the procession.
