A street procession in daylight shows several saffron-robed sannyasis with shaved heads walking among men in white shirts and white dhotis. The central saffron-robed figure wears layered rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold-toned necklace, and holds a cloth bundle. Another saffron-clad monk beside him wears a bead garland and walks with hands together. A bright orange carpet or cloth is spread on the ground in the foreground, and a colourful umbrella canopy and a striped awning stand above the crowd. Candidate appearance cues for the central figure include the rudraksha mala and gold necklace, and the page indicates a person was at this event, so the appearance-based label is applied.
