Outdoor procession on a dirt path with a crowd of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes wears a long white flower garland and holds his hands in namaskar, walking under a red-and-white fringed ceremonial umbrella held by a helper. Side umbrellas in orange, blue and red with fringe frame the scene. A woman in a white sari carries a basket of yellow marigold flowers and fruit on her head. Men in white carry orange-and-yellow trays. Palm trees and a thatched structure appear behind. The orange-robed figure has long hair and rudraksha beads, and the page names a person for this event, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is marked as unsure.
