A photograph of devotees walking in procession along a dusty open ground toward a white-walled tented pavilion with a stepped entrance. Two large printed portraits flank the wall: one labelled with a readable caption is not visible, but both show a smiling figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange garments with a rudraksha-style cord. Women in white saris and men in white dhotis and shirts walk down the steps, a woman in a teal sari and a girl in a pink dress are nearby, and a circular illuminated portrait hangs above the tent. Several standing people stand on the steps behind them.
