Outdoor photograph in warm daylight of a person in saffron-orange clothing, wrapped in an orange cloth draped over one shoulder and an orange turban-style head wrap. The figure raises both arms to hold long garlands of orange marigolds, white jasmine and green-and-white tassels, with a yellow flower cluster visible. Green trees and a pale sky fill the background. Only the upper body and arms are visible; the face is partly turned away. No clear appearance-based a person cues are visible, so the figure is described by role as a devotee carrying garlands in a procession.
