Behind him, a long-haired attendant in orange carries a ceremonial standard with a red and gold emblem on a pole, and another attendant in orange holds a metal tray. Other robed attendants in saffron and white walk along, and white-clad devotees stand with palms pressed together at the roadside. A white floor rangoli decorates the path.
