A photograph of a narrow market lane lined with sweet shops and flower stalls. At centre, a bearded man with long dark hair and a yellow-and-vermilion forehead mark wears a rust-red robe, heavy gold necklaces and a golden armlet, and carries a tall silver trident (trishul). Beside him, a man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala walks with him, and another saffron-clad attendant follows behind. Passers-by include a woman in a red blouse with a gold-bordered shawl, and a man in a pink shirt and grey trousers. Trays of sweets fill the glass counter at left, and a framed picture with flower garland hangs on the wall. Blue shutters and a white cloth awning overhead complete the scene. The procession-like walk suggests a street visit.
