A street procession on a paved road lined with trees. In the foreground a shaved-headed man with a bare upper body bends forward in a prostrating posture, hands on the road. Beside him stands a man in a saffron-red dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala, and to the left a line of men in white dhotis and white shirts with red and gold sashes and beaded necklaces clap and raise their arms. A green tractor-drawn cart carries a red banner printed with a smiling portrait of a figure in an orange turban and orange robe. Behind the cart, people in white and red garments stand near a decorated gold-and-orange canopy with flowers. Red flags fly along the route and a uniformed police officer walks nearby.
