Outdoor procession at dusk in a crowded street. In the foreground, a figure wearing a large rust-orange turban, orange-saffron robes, heavy gold necklaces and gold bangles sits on a cushioned seat with palms pressed together in greeting and a broad smile; the figure has long dark hair and a distinctive appearance cued by the turban and ornate gold jewellery, consistent with a person. Behind, uniformed police officers, saffron-clad sadhus and a crowd line the route beneath many red, yellow and orange umbrellas and flags. A golden ornamental figure is at left, a leopard-print cloth lies at lower right, and a decorated float labelled Pallav passes in the distance. A pink-and-red striped cloth covers the seat and sandals rest on it. A videographer films at right beside a temple gate.
