A photograph of a procession entering a decorated hall. In the centre, a barefoot man in saffron-orange robes wears a long white and orange flower garland and holds his palms raised in greeting. Beside him, a bearded man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala walks alongside, and another man in orange follows behind. A young woman in a light blue outfit stands at left with palms pressed together. Men in white dhotis and shirts, and a man in a checked shirt at right, stand with hands folded. A green-and-orange decorated arch of flowers and coconuts hangs above the doorway, with banana leaves flanking the path and a wall clock above. People visible: about 10.
