A barefoot figure in saffron-orange robes walks through a covered courtyard in front of an orange-painted temple building, wearing a long red-and-white flower garland, a large gold-and-beaded chest ornament, and a forehead marking; a long dark wig-like hair frames the face. Behind and beside him, several saffron-robed attendants carry silver trishula tridents and walk in a procession, while a man in a white dhoti at left holds a long horn instrument. A cameraman in orange films the procession, and a white sheet with the word LIVE is visible.
