A procession on a dirt path under palm trees in India. At the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a white and multicoloured flower garland and a rudraksha-style necklace, and walks with a cane. Above him a colourful fringed ceremonial umbrella is held aloft. Behind, a man in white carries a framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure, and a bearer nearby holds an orange flag on a pole. A woman in a white sari with a gold border presses her palms together in greeting, and another woman in white walks beside her. Several men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow, carrying the procession along the path.
