Outdoor procession at a festival ground with orange and red canopies behind. A central man in a red-orange turban, ornate gold necklaces, a golden pendant, and a brown rudraksha mala walks with head bowed, wearing a red-and-gold striped dhoti-style garment. Flanking him, a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha beads and a gold-chained pendant holds a tall white-and-gold staff, while another man in orange and gold carries a long gold-topped pole with a red-and-gold umbrella overhead. Devotees in white dhotis with red shawls and saffron robes surround them, several with orange forehead marks. Red and saffron flags fly in the background.
