Outdoor procession scene with a central figure in saffron-orange robes and a white flower garland with a red tassel, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, hands pressed together and eyes closed in a smiling expression. Around him, saffron-clad attendants with bead necklaces and men in white shirts and dhotis bow, reach out and clasp hands in greeting. Colourful fringed ceremonial parasols in red, green, yellow and pink with blue panels are held overhead, and a brass ceremonial staff and banana leaves frame the crowd. A banner partly reading HELMURUGAN is visible in the background.
