A procession of devotees walks along a paved road under overcast sky with green trees behind. At centre, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha mala, walks barefoot ahead of the group, appearing to be a person candidate by his long swept hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial necklaces. Around him many devotees in orange shawls walk; a man on the left in a red shirt carries a camera, a man on the left holds a trident-topped staff, and three ornate ceremonial umbrellas with gold fringe, red-and-blue panels and white bird emblems are carried on poles. Several people wear white and orange, and a woman in a yellow shawl walks at right.
