Crowded outdoor procession scene in which a man in a maroon-red shawl over a bare chest, wearing heavy gold necklaces, gold armlets and a gold bracelet, walks with a raised trident-staff; he has long dark hair and a red-brown forehead mark. Around him, robed men in white dhotis with gold borders and maroon shawls carry ceremonial staffs and wear rudraksha-style beaded malas and gold chains. Onlookers press in behind, some holding cameras, and a pink floral garland appears at upper right. The page does not confirm who is present, so the central figure is described by role only.
