A procession on a dirt path under a pavilion of tent canopies and blue and red cloth. A group of saffron-clad sannyasis walks together. In the centre, a man in an orange shawl over a dark maroon robe, with a red tilak on his forehead, walks forward. To his right, a man with a red and gold turban, wearing a long rudraksha mala and white flower garland, smiles and raises his hand in greeting. Beside them an older bearded man in orange robes and an orange turban walks, and at left a bearded man with a white beard wears an orange shawl. Other maroon-and-gold-robed attendants with rudraksha malas walk alongside, and a few onlookers in the background watch.
