Outdoor procession on dry, open ground with sparse palms and parked vehicles in the distance. A large ceremonial canopy with a yellow top and bands of red, blue, green and orange fringe is carried above a figure in saffron-orange cloth with a long white beard and garlands of flowers. A tall man in an orange-saffron shawl walks beside him. Around them a crowd of devotees in white dhotis, white shirts and white saris moves forward, many wearing rudraksha-style neck beads. A man in a red shirt stands in the right foreground. Small flags on poles and a pale sky complete the scene.
