A procession walks down a red carpet under a decorated tin-roofed pavilion hung with paper stars and tassels, with striped cloth pillars along the sides. In the centre, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl walks forward holding a long ceremonial staff, with a red and white flower garland draped around his neck and a long beaded necklace. Behind and beside him, robed monastics in saffron-orange garments with rudraksha malas follow, and devotees in white with yellow shawls walk along the matting. A standing man in a plain saffron robe at the front left and another in saffron on the right frame the scene. Elements in the procession include a trident-like staff and a lit lamp area at the far end. The a person candidate in the centre has a probable match on the page's flag, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity beyond the white ritual clothing.
