At the centre, a man in a red-brown dhoti and an orange-red turban wears a long white garland and layered gold necklaces, and walks barefoot beside robed attendants in saffron and orange. Devotees in white and in red-brown saris line the path, some with palms joined in namaste, and a man in a white kurta and a white dhoti stands at left. A man in white and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti are visible at the edges. Several people are visible, roughly two dozen, and the scene looks like a ritual procession of honour.2016-12-03April 22 20162016-04-22June 07 20162016-06-07A procession on a paved courtyard with palm trees behind.

Women in red-orange saris and devotees in white stand with folded palms along the route, and a trident is visible among the golden ornaments.

In front, a man in white kurta with a white garland and a red face covering walks beside a man in white with a rudraksha mala.
