Outdoor photograph at dusk of a procession of barefoot men on a stone-paved temple courtyard beside a carved stone temple wall with green-lit trees and strings of lights behind. Most wear ochre and maroon robes with gold borders, rudraksha malas and gold ceremonial necklaces. A man in a white dhoti with a red sash and tripundra marks walks second from left, and a man in a red turban wears a large gold pendant. A bald-headed man in an orange shawl with a dark rudraksha mala walks in the centre, appearing to be a senior sannyasi, though his identity is uncertain from appearance. Several devotees in ochre robes follow behind.
