Outdoor procession on a roadside with a dense crowd of onlookers. A seated figure in rust-brown robes and a rust turban raises a hand in blessing, wearing a gold ceremonial necklace, rudraksha-style brown beads, and layered garlands of white, orange and pink flowers, seated on a red-cushioned palanquin. Beside him a young man in saffron-orange robes holds a tall red-shafted umbrella, and a woman in white and gold attire kneels nearby. An orange-and-gold canopy with tassels and a pink fringed umbrella shade the scene, and red flags flutter behind. Men in white dhotis and women in saris stand along the roadside, with utility poles and banners in the background.
