In the foreground, a bare-chested elderly man with grey hair prostrates on the road, hands forward, beside a red flag bearing a portrait of a saffron-turbaned figure. Robed devotees in white and red-orange dhotis with gold borders stand on both sides, one raising a yellow staff and clapping. Behind, a green tractor-style cart draped with red flags carries a decorated golden canopy and garlanded deity murti, with a uniformed police officer walking alongside. Several onlookers with cameras watch from the roadside.
