Outdoor procession under bright sky with palm trees behind. In the centre, a long-haired figure in white dhoti and shawl with gold trim, wearing layered gold necklaces and a thick red and white flower garland, hands pressed together in greeting, a red mark on the forehead. Flanking him, two young men in saffron-orange robes and gold beaded necklaces; the left one raises a hand and holds a tall gold trident, the right one walks with eyes lowered. A red flag and a gold ceremonial staff appear behind, and a further attendant in white stands at the right edge. The centre figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, gold garlands and white-and-gold ceremonial dress, a compatible appearance cue, but the image alone leaves identity uncertain.
