A procession on a red carpet across a paved courtyard. At the centre, a bearded elderly man in a flowing saffron-orange robe walks barefoot, holding a small ceremonial staff. Around him, men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls with rudraksha malas walk on either side, one holding a long ceremonial staff and one holding a fan-like object. On the left, women and girls in red saris with gold borders walk and clap, and a drummer in orange clothing plays a drum. Behind them stands a shaded pavilion with a decorated deity murti or altar under a striped canopy, flanked by ornate banners and an umbrella. Several people are visible in the background.
