Behind him, a man in matching orange robes walks alongside, and a man in orange on the right holds a trident. Banana leaves frame the walkway, and white-clad devotees and attendants line the sides, some holding ceremonial staffs and a gold-and-brass ornament. Green garlands hang from the metal roof and a rudraksha-like ceremonial procession surrounds the scene.
