Outdoor procession on a red carpet strewn with rose petals along a tree-lined street. A central figure in a deep red-brown robe wears a long multicolour flower garland and rudraksha beads and walks barefoot, with eyes covered by a white cloth. Flanking figures in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas walk alongside, and a man in white shirt stands at left. A woman in white sari with gold border holds a silver plate of offerings with flowers and a decorated coconut, and a drummer with a drum sits at right. Several people in white and saffron stand in the background among parked vehicles and trees, consistent with a pada puja welcome at a devotee's house.
