A festival procession with a central man in a red-and-maroon turban with a gold ornament, wearing a thick red and white flower garland, a gold ornate chest piece and gold necklaces, raising one hand in greeting and smiling. Around him, attendants in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas carry a silver staff, a trident and a ceremonial mace. Above them, large ornate parasols in red, gold, blue and purple with fringe trim shade the crowd. Crowd members stand behind, and an attendant on the right with long dreadlocks and a white garment reaches toward him. The setting is an outdoor street with blue-roofed buildings in the background.
