Outdoor procession on a sandy path lined with coconut palms under a clear blue sky. A man in orange robes wearing a large white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks at the centre, with a fair-skinned woman in orange sari beside him holding a tray. A person in white dhoti and yellow shawl holds a long pole with a yellow-and-blue canopy overhead, another in white carries a brass vessel, and a woman in orange robes walks nearby. Dozens of devotees in white dhotis, yellow and red shawls follow. A decorated yellow palanquin with carved pillars appears at the right. Possibly a sannyasi candidate is visible in the central role but appearance is not conclusive.
