A street procession on a paved road lined with green trees. A man in a white shirt, cream trousers and a dark beaded necklace bends forward with arms outstretched and hands open, dancing energetically. Around him, several men in white shirts and white dhotis, one wearing an orange cap, raise their arms and clap, and a young boy in a striped shirt and shorts joins the dance. Many of the men wear round orange-bordered badges bearing a portrait of a saffron-clad figure. At the right, a man in a teal checked shirt and white dhoti holds an orange flag on a pole. A white shirt with orange trim in the foreground reads partially as KAILASA lettering. A drum is visible behind the group.
