Outdoor procession at a construction-site-like area with bare sandy ground and cinder-block walls under a shed roof. A man in a saffron-orange robe wears a long garland of white flowers with red blooms and a rudraksha mala, walking barefoot-looking with sandals while attendants in white dhotis and shirts flank him. A tall white-and-red fringed ceremonial umbrella (chhatra) is held overhead on a long pole by a man in white. Behind them, a crowd of men and women in white and orange clothing stands on a raised wall. Devotee attendants wear white with rudraksha malas and identification badges. Palm trees are visible in the background.
