A festival procession scene inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof. A figure with a white turban and long dark hair sits centrally in a saffron-orange robe with a white garland, seated on a red-and-white carpet beneath a multicoloured canopy umbrella with gold fringe and a lotus motif. Beside them, a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a gold necklace and a bald-headed priest in orange holds a cloth. Behind is a golden elephant figure with red-and-gold decorations. Around them, a large crowd of devotees in white and orange clothing sits on the floor, many with hands folded, while a few men in dark clothes stand at the front. Framed photographs and banners line the walls, and white T-shirts hang from the rafters.
