Outdoor procession on a paved road during a ratha yatra style walk. A central figure in a long saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair walks forward, flanked by devotees in orange and white. Above them, two colourful ornate parasols with tassels and fringe are carried on poles by men in white dhotis. A man on the right in white dhoti and shirt plays a large drum with a star-patterned blue and maroon cover, and a man in orange robes holds a white paper. A white van sits to the left, and a sign in the background reads 'BE BLISSFUL IS MY MESSAGE'. Trees and a clear sky complete the scene.
