A man in saffron-orange robes with a long orange shawl, a garland of yellow flowers, and a peacock-feather fan held upright on a pole leads the group and smiles.

Other white-clad devotees with orange and yellow shawls and rudraksha beads walk alongside, and a few women in saris watch from the left.
