In the centre, a man in a deep maroon-red dhoti and wrap wears a maroon turban, a long white floral garland, a heavy gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, and is barefoot. Around him, attendants in saffron-orange dhotis, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, one holding a microphone, walk alongside. On the right, a bearded man in a white and gold-bordered dhoti with a rudraksha mala leads a woman in a white and gold sari carrying a bag. A golden ceremonial umbrella is raised above the group.2016-12-23September 08 20152015-09-08October 08 20162016-10-08April 14 20182018-04-14A procession walks along a red carpet under an open-sided pavilion hung with strings of small decorative tassels. A central figure with long dark hair wears a red-brown dhoti with gold borders, a multi-row garland of red and white flowers, a rudraksha mala, and an ornate gold necklace; he walks ahead of the group and smiles. Robed attendants in saffron and orange garments and rudraksha malas flank him, one holding a tall ceremonial parasol with a blue fringed canopy, another carrying a decorated kalasha-style pot with green leaves. Behind them, men in white dhotis with gold borders play drums and carry ritual items.

A bare-chested attendant in a white dhoti holds a hand near him, while a saffron-clad man on the right raises a long pole supporting a large multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with a tasselled fringe.
