Outdoor procession on a dirt path with palm trees and a low wall behind. A man in front carries a long wooden pole with a fringed multicoloured canopy above. The central figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti and upper cloth, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, a red headband with a red tilak, and his hands are held together in front. He is flanked by orange-robed men with shaved heads and beaded necklaces, while men in white dhotis and shawls with gold borders walk behind. Uniformed police officers stand among the crowd. Two people appear to be a sannyasi-style central figure with attendants and ritual procession escorts, with onlookers at the edges.
