A procession on a dirt path outside a green gate, with banana plants on either side. Several men in orange (saffron) robes walk forward, a central figure in orange garments wears a long floral garland of orange and white flowers and holds a small object in his hands. Just behind the central figure, an older man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-orange shawl walks beside him. Ceremonial parasols with colourful striped canopies and gold tops are carried above the group, along with tall staffs topped with trident (trishul) finials. On both sides, men in white shirts and white trousers with lanyards extend their arms to hold back or guide the path, and a blue sign on the left reads photography and video restrictions. The scene is outdoors in early evening light.
