A dense street procession in a crowded narrow lane. In the foreground, a bald man with glasses, a vibhuti mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold shawl speaks while raising a hand. Behind him a man in a maroon-red turban and a red flower garland, with a gold pendant and rudraksha beads, smiles; a saffron-robed attendant in a gold necklace stands beside him. To the right a boy in an orange dhoti-style cloth stands on a golden palanquin decorated with white jasmine garlands, and a purple umbrella and gold tassels hang above. Several uniformed schoolchildren and devotees press around, some with hands raised. The swami in the turban shows qualifying cues but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
