Outdoor procession along a pale paved path edged with blue lines, beneath a large spreading banyan tree. Central figures in saffron-orange robes with gold borders walk forward, one wearing a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace and a red-and-orange sash; another in orange with a gold-trimmed wrap follows behind. Devotees line both sides: a man in white dhoti with hands folded, women in white and orange saris with orange shawls, and a woman in an orange sari with hands joined in prayer. A yellow cloth hangs from a pole near the tree. The scene shows a devotional walk with reverent onlookers.
