A bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead stands with hands pressed together at his chest in namaskar within an outdoor procession. He wears a rust-brown sannyasi-style cloth and a long multi-strand rudraksha mala, with a garland of white jasmine and red and orange flowers draped over his shoulders to his knees. Behind him a tall yellow-handled ornate umbrella with colourful tassels is held aloft by a shirtless attendant with white body markings and gold necklaces. To the left, an attendant in white dhoti with gold border and bare chest carries a silver puja tray with an oil lamp, and other attendants in orange dhotis stand nearby under large banyan roots.
