Outdoor procession at a dusty ground under bright sun. A long-haired person in a red saree with a gold necklace and red tilak walks beside a person in an orange kurta and orange dhoti wearing a flower garland. Behind them stands an ornate gold palanquin with marigold and white flower garlands, a golden canopy with tassels and kalasha-like finial. Red and yellow ceremonial umbrellas with fringed borders are held overhead. Men in white dhotis and white shirts surround them, some with rudraksha malas and folded hands in greeting, and a bald man in white dhoti with a sling bag stands in front. The a person candidate with long hair in red saree and gold necklace is a probable match by appearance cues; the figure in orange is a devotee or sannyasi.
