Outdoor procession on a stone-paved courtyard under a steel-framed canopy, with a yellow van and people milling in the background. In the foreground, many young men and women in saffron-orange dhotis and sarongs walk forward, several bare-chested, some with rudraksha malas and white sacred-thread-like cords. Multicoloured parasols with fringed edges are held aloft over a central group, and a figure in the middle carries a brass tray of offerings. Several people in white and cream clothing and a woman in a blue top are also visible. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable, so the image is a ritual procession of devotees and sannyasis.
