A procession walks along a concrete path beside a red metal gate with gold finials. A central figure with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti, a long red-and-white garland, and many beaded necklaces, walks barefoot on a woven mat. Above him an ornate maroon-and-gold parasol with tassels is held aloft, and a decorated gold-and-red pennant hangs beside it. Several attendants in orange robes and rudraksha malas walk around him, one carrying a brass plate of offerings at right. A water tank and a leafy tree sit in the background, with a brick wall behind.
