A photograph of an evening procession at night. In the foreground, a bearded man in rust-brown ochre robes with a draped shawl and a long ornate gold necklace with a gold pendant stands smiling, with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a shaved-headed attendant with white tilak marks and bare upper body walks beside him. On the left, a golden-toned metal murti of a seated saint is adorned with a thick garland of yellow marigolds and maroon flowers. Warm blurred lamps and crowd lights fill the background, and a garland-draped pillar frames the right edge. Visible people: three, plus a partially visible figure at the top left.
