A procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees, led by a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a white and red floral garland, walking between two tall umbrellas with white fringed canopies and red tassels. Around him, men in white kurtas and dhotis, several wearing rudraksha malas, walk closely. Colourful fringed canopies line the left side, and a video camera is visible at the right edge. A man on the left wears a pocket badge with a small portrait. The figure in saffron has a distinctive appearance, so this is a person candidate walking in procession.
