Outdoor festival procession under a red and white fringed canopy with gold finials. A central figure with long dark swept hair wears a white garment, a multicolour tricolour-style garland of white flowers in green, orange, white and blue, and a heavy gold chain with a pendant. He smiles and gestures with his hands. Beside him, a bearded man in an orange saffron shawl and white kurta, with a rudraksha mala, presses his palms together. Behind them, a man in white and orange-shawled women and devotees in white and orange crowd the scene, with a small blue-and-white flag visible above.
