Outdoor procession under trees with yellow wildflowers in the foreground. A man in a white dhoti and sacred thread is holding a red umbrella aloft over a central figure in an orange-red robe and red turban adorned with a gold jewel, wearing a gold necklace, rudraksha mala, and long layered garlands of white and red flowers. Two attendants in orange robes walk behind, with more participants in the background.
