A procession of ceremonial attendants in orange and saffron garments walks across a paved courtyard under a open-sided pavilion with palm trees behind. Central figure in a deep orange robe and a multi-strand marigold garland stands out, flanked by men holding long ceremonial staffs topped with orange fan-shaped banners bearing a circular emblem, and carrying a trident and a long curved horn. Men in white dhotis with orange borders carry a decorated canopy and drums. Bright daylight casts long shadows on the ground.
