Outdoor procession on a red-brick stepped platform at dusk. A bald man in a rust-brown dhoti holds up a gilded framed portrait of a seated figure in orange robes with a white beaded mala, set against a tree backdrop. Around him, young men in saffron-orange robes with maroon borders carry ornate orange-and-gold ceremonial banners on poles. Players in orange blow long brass horns and a drummer beats a hand drum. A small framed placard sits on the steps and an orange-and-gold cushioned seat is at right. The portrait is a depiction on a printed frame, not a person present.
