A road procession on a hillside path near rocky cliffs. A smiling man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead walks at the centre, wearing a rust-red robe draped over one shoulder and holding a mala of beads in his right hand. Behind him an attendant in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a red umbrella decorated with gold Om symbols and tassels above his head. Surrounding them, devotees in white dhotis and kurtas walk barefoot; a woman in white with gold border carries a tray of red flowers, a young boy in white stands nearby, and a man with folded hands walks at right. Red flags wave in the background.
