A procession on a paved path outdoors in daylight. A central figure wearing a cream and gold turban, long dark hair, a white and maroon flower garland, gold beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, and orange robes with gold borders walks barefoot with both palms raised in greeting and a broad smile. Two attendants flank him in orange robes: the one on the left holds a tall gold staff with a finial, and the one on the right, wearing glasses, carries a twisted gold staff. Trees and shrubs stand behind them. Whether the central figure is the person the page names cannot be determined from appearance alone, so the role is described as a devotee in procession.
