A procession enters a white hall through a decorated doorway hung with green leaves and marigold-style garlands, with a striped canopy above. Two saffron-robed sannyasis walk at the front carrying brass plates, one bearing a dark-haired man with a full beard and long hair, wearing orange robes and a beaded mala. Behind them a figure in white garments with a red shawl carries a lit lamp or offering, and attendants in white dhotis hold a yellow-and-orange banner and colourful parasols. A woman in a white sari stands with palms joined at the right edge. A clock is on the wall above the doorway, and a Kannada banner reads Kalpataru Darshana.
