Outdoor street procession with a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes at the centre, wearing a red, green and white flower garland and a gold necklace, one arm raised in greeting. Around him, saffron-robed sannyasis wear gold bead necklaces, and a uniformed police officer in a dark cap stands at left. Men in white shirts and dhotis press close, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Behind them rise saffron flags, a golden trishul on a pole, a red and yellow umbrella and a decorated ratha or chariot canopy, with a banner of portraits at upper right. The. Trees and a bright sky frame the scene.
