A crowded outdoor procession scene with many devotees pressing around a central figure. A person in a bright orange turban and orange robes stands at the centre, wearing a long pink-magenta flower garland and holding hands together in greeting. Beside them, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha beads and a pink garland, stands with palms joined. A woman in a pink sari with hair in a bun bows with folded hands at the lower centre. Behind them, saffron-clad men and white-clad devotees crowd close, and a video camera with a boom microphone is visible at the left edge. Colourful decorated ratha or chariot canopies and orange flags appear in the background. The orange-turbaned figure is shown in appearance-based form without naming them.
