A smiling man in a rust-orange turban with a small red bindi stands outdoors with palms pressed together in namaste, gazing upward. He wears heavy gold necklaces and a gold pendant, gold bangles on his wrists and upper arms, and a saffron-orange cloth draped over his bare upper body. Behind him, men in saffron and rust-coloured robes stand with rudraksha malas; one holds a silver trident-topped staff, and a silver ceremonial staff with a crescent finial is visible at left. Tall white poles and green leaves stand in the background under a clear blue sky, and a red cloth appears at the right edge. The scene suggests a festive procession or outdoor ritual gathering.

In the centre, a smiling figure with a tall black turban and a red-and-gold bindi on the forehead wears a red-orange sari with gold border, heavy gold necklaces, a large gold pendant and rudraksha mala cords, and holds a tall yellow staff. Behind and beside them, men in red-orange cloth with rudraksha malas and garlands walk in line; one bald man on the left has white and yellow markings on his forehead, and a man on the right wears white dhoti with a yellow sash and holds a staff. Flower garlands and a decorated pot appear at the lower left. The central figure has long-hair/turban cues and ornate clothing, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role is given as a procession participant.2016-01-03January 13 20152015-01-13January 03 20162016-01-03
