Outdoor procession on a paved courtyard beneath palm trees. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and a long orange-and-white flower garland walks with head bowed, flanked by a large orange and red parasol held by attendants. Devotees in white and yellow-trimmed white garments line the path, many with hands folded in namaskar. A young man in white with a yellow shawl films on a camera from a raised white-and-red platform. Behind them stand a bronze-coloured statue and a tall white shrine structure; a yellow vehicle and a parked silver van are visible at left, with a signboard map beside them. A figure in a light blue salwar-style outfit stands at the lower left, and several onlookers wear white and orange.
