A photograph of an outdoor procession on dry, uneven ground at a rural site. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body and a large ornate gold-and-beige necklace; he walks across a narrow wooden plank bridge with a rustic log railing. Above him an orange, red and blue canopy umbrella with decorative gold motifs is held aloft. Behind, several people in white clothes walk and a golden ceremonial object is visible. Parked cars, a white van, trees and low buildings with a concrete block wall stand in the background. The man's appearance has several ceremonial cues but his identity cannot be confirmed from the image.
