Outdoor evening procession of saffron-robed devotees at dusk with dark foliage behind them. Centre, a smiling man wears a deep red turban with a small gold ornament, a red and gold garland, multiple rudraksha malas and a large ornate gold pendant. Partly visible on the left, a man in a tall jewelled gold-and-red headpiece holds a silver covered tray, and another attendant holds a ceremonial fan. Several shaved-headed men in red and saffron cloth stand around them. The man in the turban appears to be a person based on the turban, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas, though this is an appearance-based label only.
