A procession of devotees walks along a dirt path through a forest of trees, led by a man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala holding a white megaphone and smiling. Above him a red and gold ornate umbrella is carried. Around him, participants in red and orange shawls and white dhotis carry blue-tipped red and orange flags and banners. A young girl in a green t-shirt and pink pants walks among them. The scene looks like a ritual walk through a temple-jungle site.
