A woman in a white sari with a yellow border and a yellow shawl, smiling, carries a brass pot topped with yellow marigold garlands and offerings. Around her, a group of saffron-robed sannyasis walk together, several with rudraksha malas. An elderly bearded man in a pale pink-orange wrap walks at centre, and an older bald man in saffron with glasses stands on the right with hands pressed together in namaste. A man in a white dhoti stands among them, and people in white and green clothing appear at the right edge. The gathering looks like a welcoming procession.
