A crowded outdoor procession moves through a temple street lined with stone shrines and carved spires, with orange marigold garlands draped over an arch. In the centre, a bald elderly man with a white moustache, bare-chested and wearing a white dhoti, walks beside a bald man in a pale yellow robe. A uniformed officer in a dark cap and green jacket stands at the front, and a cameraman with a video camera films from the left. Devotees raise their hands, some holding small red and orange umbrellas or pink-clad figures amid the throng.
