Outdoor procession in a crowded street with many red flags and colourful umbrellas. At the centre, a person in a dark red-brown turban and matching saffron-toned robe wears a thick gold necklace and a large gold pendant, with a red and white garland of flowers around the neck. Two men flank them in white dhotis with gold borders, gold chains and rudraksha beads, one with tripundra markings on the forehead. Onlookers and devotees fill the background, many in white and yellow. No clear appearance-based cues for a person are present, so the central figure is described by role only.
