A procession in an outdoor garden setting with strings of colored lights and a pink ceremonial umbrella at right. At the centre, a bearded man with long swept-back dark hair wears a rust-red turban topped with a crescent moon and a silver emblem, a red bindi, and a pink-and-white floral garland. He wears layered gold necklaces with a large pendant, rudraksha malas, gold bangles, and a brown-red robe, and holds a silver trident in his raised right hand. Around him, devotees in white dhotis with gold borders, brown rudraksha malas and white sacred ash marks on their arms and foreheads walk in the crowd, along with women in saffron-toned shawls. Appearance cues suggest a person leading the procession, so a person is in_person.
