Outdoor procession at a ground lined with flags on poles and palm trees. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe and a multicoloured garland of white flowers and striped ribbons stands smiling with hands together, flanked by devotees in white and orange. A tasselled multicoloured umbrella and tall staffs with a trident-like finial appear above, and many people in white and orange clothing are gathered around. The central figure shows no distinctive a person cues beyond saffron dress and a garland, so identity is uncertain.
