A procession through a green garden path with dense foliage. A central man with a tall braided topknot, gold ceremonial necklaces, a red-and-white flower garland and a dark red robe walks forward; the appearance is consistent with a person based on the topknot, ornate gold necklaces and garland, though identity is uncertain. Around him, devotees in orange and saffron garments and white dhotis with gold borders walk alongside, some with rudraksha malas, one carrying a tray of red flowers. Colourful ceremonial umbrellas or banners are visible above. Several people are visible, including partially visible figures behind.
