A procession moves through a street lined with crowds, led by people in white dhotis and shawls with red and saffron stoles. Many carry tall red flags on poles, and several colourful umbrellas (yellow, blue, green) are held above the group. A man in the foreground holds a red-bordered banner reading in part Nithyananda Sangh, and a Slovak flag is also carried. Uniformed police stand along the route on the right. Behind the gate, large painted banners show a turbaned figure with a welcome and felicitation message. Many onlookers and photographers surround the group.
