Outdoor procession on a dirt path with a green-tree backdrop and a small red-roofed building at right. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair, a red-and-orange tilak on his forehead, and an orange robe waves his right hand; a thick garland of white jasmine, yellow flowers, green leaves and red blooms hangs on his chest, and he holds a tall wooden staff. Around him walk devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and orange robes, several wearing gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha malas, some holding hands. A truck and a purple cloth fence appear in the background. The central figure has long swept-back hair, a garland and saffron clothing, which is a person cue, but the face is not used for identification. Seven or more people are visible.
