Outdoor procession on a sandy road with a decorated elephant at the centre. The elephant has painted white and pink designs on its head and ears, and a red-and-gold cloth covers its back. A framed portrait of a bearded-free long-haired man in orange robes with a garland sits atop the elephant, held by a man in a white shirt seated behind it. A large multicoloured umbrella with tassels shelters the portrait. Drummers in white and striped clothes play drums in front, orange flags are carried by marchers, and a bald man in an orange vest and white dhoti stands at right. A pink banner with Hindi text is visible at right, and a steel truss bridge runs across the background.
