Outdoor procession under a large ornate golden canopy with fringed tassels in red, orange, blue and green, with multicolored umbrellas behind. A smiling man at centre wears a maroon-and-gold turban, a dense garland of red beads and pink-green flowers, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and a maroon wrap over a rust-red dhoti, and walks barefoot-style in sandals on a blue-edged path. Around him, saffron-robed sadhus with rudraksha malas and matted hair walk, one carrying a tall silver staff; a woman in white with rudraksha beads and a man in white walk nearby, and a golden-handled ceremonial staff is held aloft at right. The presentation is distinctive in ornate ceremonial dress, but no name or caption is visible, so the identity of the central man is uncertain.
