A large outdoor procession moves along a paved path under tall trees, with a dense crowd of devotees on both sides. Many people carry ornate umbrellas in pink, purple, yellow and gold with fringed borders, held up over the procession. At the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a long garland and beaded necklaces walks among bare-chested men in white dhotis and sannyasis in saffron. A woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala walks in the foreground, and a man in white with a red-and-white cloth leads a drummer carrying a drum. Many devotees have white and red forehead markings, and a decorated canopy with coloured streamers is visible in the background. The a person candidate is the saffron-robed central figure, but his appearance is only moderately distinctive, so this remains uncertain.
