Outdoor procession under a long covered walkway with blue metal posts and trees beyond. Several men walk barefoot in a group. A central man in a dark red-orange robe wears a tall black turban, a thick garland of white and orange flowers, and a beaded necklace; he carries a small red-and-pink object. Nearby men wear orange or saffron cloths over bare shoulders, white dhotis with gold borders, rudraksha malas and gold chains. A bare-chested man at right in a white dhoti holds a phone. A woman in a green and yellow sari with a red blouse stands at left. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the central figure is treated as a devotee in a ritual procession at a temple setting.
