A procession walks along a dirt road lined with trees and onlookers, with a hill visible in the background. At the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and a long beaded necklace, walking barefoot in sandals with an entourage; the appearance-based candidate is a person, given the long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial beaded necklace. Beside him walk two shaven-headed men in white dhotis and orange shawls wearing rudraksha malas, and older men in white dhotis and shirts follow. A woman in an orange sari stands at the left edge, and a child in a maroon cloth stands at the right near spectators in pink and white shirts. Pennant strings and a canopy appear in the background.

A large group of about 30 people gathers in orange, saffron and brown robes alongside others in white shirts and white dhotis with lanyards. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and orange rudraksha-style beaded necklace, raising one arm and pointing forward. Nearby a man in a green shawl and white dhoti stands with a saffron-turbaned sannyasi in orange. Strings of marigold-style garlands and yellow-orange festoons decorate a fence on the right. The scene appears to be a gathering of sannyasis and volunteers in a village road setting.
