Outdoor procession on a dirt road lined with palm trees and banana plants under a bright sky. A central figure in an orange robe with a long dark beard and a red-orange garland walks in the middle, with a distinctive long swept-back hair and rudraksha-style beads visible in a person candidate appearance, though the figure is at a distance. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with yellow or orange shawls walk, several wearing lanyards and name badges. An ornate multicoloured canopy umbrella and a trident-topped pole stand behind the group, with a bundle of flags near the back. Several saffron-clad sannyasis walk alongside. Two people walk at the front carrying a tray and items.
