Photograph of four men walking along a paved path in front of a yellow gopuram-style temple gateway flanked by palm trees. The man in the centre wears an orange-pink head cloth, a red-and-green flower garland, an orange shawl and yellow dhoti, and carries a brass pot of flowers on his head while holding a small hand drum and raising his hand in greeting. Beside him an older man in a pink head cloth and orange shawl holds his hands together in namaskar. On the left a man in a white turban and white kurta carries a bundle wrapped in pink and yellow cloth, and on the right a younger man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a white shawl folds his hands in prayer. This appears to be a Makara Sankranti street-singing procession, with the figures dressed like Haridas singers.
