A welcoming procession gathers outside a two-storey building with tiled roofs and red-trimmed eaves, beside parked coaches. Yellow and multicolour ceremonial umbrellas are held over a group descending a stone staircase; a man in white with a red-and-white cloth and a woman in white with a red sash walk with them, and a man in a maroon robe stands at the front. Many people in white clothing line a balcony above, some with orange umbrellas. Others wear red-and-black Balinese sarongs and head cloths. Dark maroon and saffron-coloured robes appear among the white-clad devotees. A carved stone structure sits at the side of the stairs.
