A procession walks along a red carpet under a covered hall decorated with pink and green ceremonial umbrellas and flags. At the centre a man in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange turban wears a long yellow-and-orange marigold garland and smiles while walking. Around him, saffron-robed attendants wear orange garments, beaded necklaces and white forehead markings. A bare-chested man on the right wears a white dhoti with gold border, a gold-and-bead necklace and white tripundra, and a shirted man in a checked shirt walks beside them. Cameramen with a video camera and cables film the procession, and a crowd stands behind the umbrellas.
