A procession on dry red earth beside a tree and a wire-mesh fence. At the centre, a bearded man in a rust-brown robe and a long white flower garland walks on a blue-and-yellow runner, followed by a shaved-headed attendant. A large white umbrella with multicoloured fringe, held by a man in orange, shades him. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders, orange clothing and rudraksha malas walk, and drummers in orange cloth beat drums. A cameraman in white crouches to film. Trees, hills and a red wall stand in the background. The man in the robe shows the appearance of a candidate for a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
