Two saffron-robed figures walk side by side: a long-haired figure in orange with a red tilak, holding a garland of white flowers and greenery, smiling and gesturing; and a bald, bearded sannyasi in an orange robe and rudraksha-style necklace, carrying a yellow packet. Several men in white shirts and dhotis walk alongside, some with pink and yellow ribbon badges, one holding a green garland and another pressing palms together in greeting. Kolam floor designs and onlookers appear in the background. Visible people number about ten.
