The central figure in a saffron orange robe and long orange-and-gold beaded necklace walks forward with long dark hair and a painted forehead mark, appearing to be a person candidate by appearance, marked by long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial necklace. Around him, saffron-robed men and white-clad devotees carry a decorated palanquin and ceremonial parasols with fringed edges, and a woman in white with an orange shawl holds a fan. A deity murti is visible in the palanquin behind them.2008-12-23A procession on a dirt path lined with banana plants and palm trees.

On the left, men in white dhotis with yellow shawls carry a brass vessel and a golden staff, and two ornate multicolored parasols with tasselled fringes and bird motifs shade the group.
