A hazy outdoor procession of devotees in saffron-orange robes walks past large ornate umbrellas with purple and navy canopies edged in silver-white fringe and beadwork. A bare-chested young man in the centre carries a brass tray of ritual vessels with both hands, wearing a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark. Around him, saffron-clad men and women wear garlands and malas, some with white tilak on their foreheads, and one woman in a red-and-white turban and pink top smiles beside the tray. Rocks and a pale building are faintly visible behind the umbrellas.
