A young person with long dark hair and a red bindi wears a red-orange garment with a red-and-gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace; they hold open a yellow and red printed booklet while looking down. An older man with white hair in a white kurta and white shawl stands before them holding a red-covered booklet and a yellow leaflet. Other white-clad men with shaved heads and a bearded elder stand nearby; a man in a dark striped shirt presses his palms together at left. The printed page caption refers to a pada pooja and satsang procession, but the figures visible here are standing devotees rather than a clearly identifiable ritual.
