A festival procession with a central figure in orange robes and a white head cloth, wearing a long garland of white flowers with red and yellow blooms and multiple gold necklaces. Beside him on the left, a bearded man in orange robes holds a tall golden trident-topped staff. Behind them, a man in orange robes holds a golden staff, and a man in a cream kurta with an orange shawl stands at the right. Colourful umbrellas and orange flags rise above the crowd, and more people in white shirts and dark jackets press in around the group outdoors under palm trees. The central figure has long hair and a distinctive appearance, but the candidate cues are not sufficient for a firm identification, so the role is given as a devotee in procession.
