Outdoor procession scene under a large canopy with a fringed, multicoloured umbrella-like top in red, yellow, green, purple and orange. A man in a dark brown long-sleeved jacket with gold embroidery and dark trousers stands on a raised cushioned platform draped with white cloth, holding a microphone in one hand and a red-and-white stick in the other. He wears a tan turban and a gold bracelet. Around him, devotees in white shirts and orange or saffron shawls, some with red headbands and ash markings, look on; one man on the right laughs with a red headband and red tie. A microphone attendant in white stands at the left edge. Palm trees and a white building are in the background.
