A dense outdoor crowd at a procession, with a decorated canopy of red, purple and yellow tassels in the upper left and a red flower garland raised above heads at top centre. In the centre-right, a man in an orange turban, orange robe and a long gold-beaded necklace of ceremonial beads smiles broadly; he has long dark hair and wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace, and his appearance is a person candidate. Beside him stands an older bald man in orange robes with a shawl, smiling, with hands together. Around them men in white shirts and dhotis, a man in a gold shirt, and uniformed police officers press close. In the foreground a white-haired man in a white shirt looks downward. The scene reads as a festival procession with devotees pressing in around the honoured figures.
