Several women and young people wear rudraksha malas, white forehead markings and orange head coverings. Some carry small brass pots or pans.

A central figure in an orange-brown cloth and a large gold-toned garland walks forward holding a tall silver trident-like staff, with a silver ceremonial parasol behind. Around them, young devotees in orange and saffron robes with red borders walk in step, many with white-painted faces and forehead markings. Drummers on the left play a large drum, and a long brass horn is raised at the centre. Red, yellow and blue draped cloth canopies line the right side, with flagpoles and a tent behind the crowd. The figure at centre has distinctive long hair and ornate adornments, a person cue, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.2013-07-22Evening procession on a dirt road with a large group of saffron-robed children and young people in orange clothes and white forehead markings.
