Two bare-chested attendants in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas walk beside him, one raising a parasol-like umbrella with a teal and orange canopy and gold finials. Behind them, a woman in an orange-red sari and other devotees in white and orange walk along, some with palms pressed together in namaste. Onlookers stand along the edge of the path. Yellow-and-red banners with a red emblem hang from poles.

At centre, a man with long dark hair and a red-and-gold ornate gold necklace, wearing a red-orange dhoti with gold borders and a red-and-blue flower garland, walks barefoot beside a tall ceremonial umbrella with blue fringe and red canopy. Around him, shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas carry ceremonial standards with teardrop-shaped pennants, kalasha-style vessels and golden staffs; one holds a decorated pot with a banana leaf.
