A procession under an orange tent canopy. A shirtless young man in a white dhoti carries a small wooden tray with an oil lamp toward a bald elderly man with a white vertical tilak, wearing an orange shawl over a brown-saffron robe and holding a long wooden staff. Around them, men in white dhotis and shawls, some with rudraksha malas, press their palms together; one wears a yellow-orange shawl. A cameraman films from the right, and printed banners hang on the tent walls. Several people are visible, and the scene appears to be a ceremonial walk. The elderly man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, with orange and saffron clothing and a staff, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm him.
