Outdoor evening procession at dusk with palm trees and orange ceremonial flags on poles. A central man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a flower garland and a gold necklace, stands under a red and multicoloured ornate umbrella with tassels. He has long dark hair and smiles, and his appearance matches the page's a person-presence cues, so he is a person candidate. Around him, saffron-clad and white-clad devotees and youth press forward, some holding ceremonial staffs and trident-topped rods, and a woman in a yellow garment with a long braid claps. A loudspeaker and strings of lights appear in the background.
