A procession under a red and orange patterned canopy. At centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange turban and a rust-brown shawl, with a white and pink flower garland, a large ornate gold and beaded pendant, and beaded bracelets; he holds his palms together in greeting. Two men flank him in orange robes and turbans, one on the left and one on the right with a red tilak on the forehead and a trident-tipped staff, and a bare-chested attendant in a brown dhoti wears gold necklaces. A ceremonial staff with a trident finial rises on the right, and a bell-bearing pole is visible at the left edge. Several other people stand behind in the crowd.

A procession under a striped canopy of red, orange and yellow circular patterns. A central figure in a deep red-brown robe and orange turban, with a white and red flower garland and large gold pendant, walks with palms pressed together in greeting and a smile. Flanking him are a man in an orange turban and orange robe with a rudraksha mala, a bald man in brown robes with gold chains carrying a tall silver trident, and a bearded man in an orange shirt and dhoti at right.
