Outdoor procession on a red carpet under a tall ceremonial umbrella with orange and blue fringe and a canopy-covered palanquin behind. A central man in saffron-orange robes with a red flower garland and a yellow-banded cloth walks barefoot. Beside him a young boy in red and gold dress with a crown-like headpiece and ornate necklace carries a tray of flowers. Around them devotees in saffron and white clothes walk, some with hands folded in namaskar, and several men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas follow. Palm trees and green trees fill the background under a bright sky.
