Outdoor procession on a bright sandy courtyard before an open-sided pavilion with palm trees behind. A red carpet runs down the centre. At the front, a bearded man in a saffron-orange top and white dhoti walks barefoot, and a sannyasi in orange robes with rudraksha malas leads just ahead. Several men in saffron and rust-red robes with orange turbans and rudraksha necklaces walk alongside, and a man in a white kurta carries a ceremonial umbrella with a multicoloured fringe. Men in white dhotis and shirts carry tall gold-topped staffs with pennants and fan-shaped standards, and a drummer in white plays at the right. Spectators in white and light clothes line the sides. Roughly thirty people are visible.
