A procession of devotees walks across a wide stone-paved courtyard. Two people hold up ornate purple and gold brocade umbrellas with fringed edges. Beneath the front umbrella, a man bare-chested in orange dhoti carries a brass tray with lit oil lamps and flower offerings, a rudraksha mala around his neck. A woman in an orange saree walks beside him holding an umbrella pole and a rudraksha mala. Behind them, people in white dhotis and saris, orange robes and a purple robe move along. A shaved-headed man in a red turban and rudraksha beads appears behind the group, and a portrait of a person in a red turban is carried in the procession. Attendees in white and orange clothing walk in the background.
