A procession walks along a red carpet strewn with yellow and orange flower petals toward a building entrance decorated with hanging marigold garlands. A central figure in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange turban and a rudraksha mala walks forward with palms pressed together. Around him, sannyasis in saffron robes and a man in white dhoti and shirt follow. A bald monk in saffron at left gestures toward the path. On the right, a devotee in white with folded hands greets the procession. Above, a large framed portrait on the building shows a smiling figure in saffron-and-red garments with rudraksha beads, labelled with a banner. Spectators stand on the balcony and stairs above. Brick and tiled structures, potted plants and a bamboo pole frame the scene.
