A photograph of a procession walking under a canopy of pink, orange and red decorated umbrellas with beaded fringes. At the centre, a man in a red-brown dhoti and an orange-red turban wears a long white garland and layered gold necklaces, and walks barefoot beside robed attendants in saffron and orange. Devotees in white and in red-brown saris line the path, some with palms joined in namaste, and a man in a white kurta and a white dhoti stands at left. A man in white and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti are visible at the edges. Several people are visible, roughly two dozen, and the scene looks like a ritual procession of honour.

At centre, a bearded man in a maroon-red robe with a red-orange turban, a large gold-and-white ceremonial necklace and a white flower garland walks forward while holding a tall trident (trishul). He is accompanied by men in orange and saffron robes and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas and forehead markings, and women in colourful saris (pink, green, red) lining the path with raised hands.
