A procession in an outdoor grove of tall trees. A central man with eyes closed and palms pressed together wears a rust-brown turban with a gold crescent and a red-and-white emblem, a rust-brown dhoti-style garment, a heavy gold necklace, pink lotus and jasmine garlands, and gold armlets and bracelets. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand with white forehead markings; one holds a tall silver ceremonial staff, and silver trident standards appear behind. A cameraman films with a video camera on a tripod-free shoulder rig. The 'probable' cues are the distinctive turban, gold ornaments and lotus garland worn by the central figure, who appears to be in procession.
