A procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees. A central figure with long dark hair and a white turban walks with palms pressed together in greeting, wearing a white garment with a gold-bordered cloth, a garland of white and red flowers, and a beaded necklace. Two men in white clothes and orange-bordered shawls carry round trays holding pineapples topped with yellow flowers. Multicoloured fringed parasols and white fly-whisk-style fans surround him, and a crowd of people in white, some wearing red-orange shawls and rudraksha malas, follows behind. A cameraman in the left foreground films the procession.
