Outdoor procession on a dirt path under a decorated canopy with a colourful fringed top and banana-leaf arch. A central figure in long flowing saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair and a large marigold and white flower garland, walks with palms pressed together in namaste. Two saffron-robed attendants walk beside and behind him, one with a bare chest and orange cloth, another with a white beard. Men in white shirts and dhotis and a man in yellow shawl line the path, and women in colourful saris stand along both sides with hands folded in greeting. Strings of paper bunting and green foliage fill the background.
