A procession on reddish-brown dirt ground in an open outdoor area. A central figure with long dark hair and a white-and-red flower garland wears an orange robe with a gold-bordered wrap and holds a long golden staff topped with an ornate golden trident-like finial and a colourful striped parasol. Around him, devotees in orange and white robes, some with rudraksha or beaded necklaces, stand clapping and looking on. Multicoloured parasols with fringed edges rise in the background above a crowd of onlookers, with a white building and trees beyond.
