A silver palanquin with ornately embossed panels and red-and-orange offerings inside is carried at right by a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha-style necklace. Behind him, a figure in a red-and-gold turban and orange garment walks under a red and gold ceremonial umbrella with fringed tassels, flanked by devotees in white and saffron. Robed sannyasis in dark and black garments follow in a long column; a red-framed gateway and trees stand in the background.
