Outdoor procession on a stone-paved path under trees, with a golden-yellow ceremonial umbrella carried on a long pole fringed in red, yellow and green tassels. Beneath it, a large printed portrait of a bearded man in an orange turban with rudraksha necklaces and ornate gold-toned garlands walks at the centre, flanked by red and yellow flower garlands. Around him, young men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, some bare-chested, wear rudraksha malas and carry trays of flowers and offerings. Golden temple structures and colourful banners appear in the background. The figure in the portrait is a printed image, not a physical person.
