A festive outdoor procession along a dirt path lined with palm trees. In the centre, a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with gold trim and a white flower garland walks forward, with a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads visible. Two bearers on the left hold tall red and multicoloured umbrellas with tasselled fringes, one printed with a dove emblem and the word Peetham. Men in white kurtas and white dhotis with orange shawls walk alongside, some wearing rudraksha malas, and a boy in white stands to the right. On the far right a woman in a white sari with an orange border and a vibhuti forehead mark looks down with folded arms. Blue and white flags with printed lettering hang overhead.
