At the centre, a ceremonial umbrella with a green, red and yellow fringed canopy is held over a group of saffron-robed sannyasis carrying a staff. A woman in a red-orange sari with rudraksha beads stands at the front holding a framed printed portrait. Behind, devotees in white clothes and a man in a white kurta walk through the water, and a cameraman in white films the procession from the right.
