A procession walks along a red carpet on a paved path before a shrine with a decorated canopy and deity figures. At the centre, a man with long hair and a white flower garland, wearing a saffron-brown dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala, walks barefoot, hands joined. Attendants in orange and red robes, many with rudraksha malas, press their palms together or blow long brass horns and carry drums. A tall staff with a fringed banner rises at right, and a trident stands at left among dense green trees.
