A procession on a paved path under bright daylight, with a golden-topped temple structure and green trees behind. A central man wears a rust-red turban, a long rust-red robe, a thick white and pink flower garland, a large gold pendant and rudraksha beads, and walks barefoot with a red cloth in hand. A white parasol with ornate fringe is held above the procession. Surrounding men wear white dhotis with gold borders, bare upper bodies or white shawls, and rudraksha malas, with some holding long ceremonial staffs topped with tufts. A woman in pink is visible at the right edge. The central figure has the distinctive long-haired, bearded presentation with a crown-like turban and ornate garland that fits the candidate profile, so this is a person. The group appears to be moving in ceremonial procession.
