Outdoor festival procession under a large ornate parasol with red fringe and a red-and-white canopy top, near trees and greenery. A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban stands at center with a long rudraksha mala, hands clasped; he has long swept-back hair and is a person candidate by visible cues (long hair, turban, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala), so appearance is uncertain. Beside him a man in white kurta with saffron shawl holds a silver can, and another man in white with glasses and saffron shawl stands behind. On the left a woman in a blue top and green skirt holds a water bottle, and a man in a white kurta and white hat stands nearby. Orange and white flags and a banner with a Om symbol and a small portrait are visible in the background, along with garlands and flowers.
