Outdoor procession on a dirt road in a village lined with brick and tin-roofed houses, with colourful striped canopy umbrellas visible in the background. In the centre, a man in saffron orange robes wears a long white and red flower garland with a gold beaded necklace and a red flower cluster at his waist, one hand raised in greeting. Beside him a bald man in orange robes and a patterned shawl carries a tall staff, and a man in white holds a long pole. Around them, men in white dhotis with orange shawls walk alongside, and a young boy in an orange shirt watches at right. A man in white with a yellow shawl also walks at the right edge. The bald man at left wears orange robes and a rudraksha mala. A candidate central figure with long swept-back hair and the procession cues is present, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the label is a person.
