Outdoor procession under tall pine trees at dusk, with several people walking together on a dirt path. In the centre, a smiling person with long dark hair and a red tilak on the forehead wears a saffron-orange robe and a large garland of yellow and white flowers. Behind and beside them, people in white shirts and trousers carry long poles topped by decorated orange, red, green and blue banners and round gold-and-red fan-shaped panels. A man at left in white kurta with a gold-bordered shawl gestures with his hand. Several attendees wear name badges. Strings of colourful flags hang overhead. The sannyasi-like figure at centre matches the saffron robe and garland cues, so the in-person candidate is probable.
