A central figure in saffron-orange robe and orange turban wears a long red and white flower garland, gold necklaces and bangles, and raises a hand in blessing while walking. Behind him a red and black ceremonial umbrella with tasselled fringe is held aloft by an attendant, and a trident-like staff is visible. Nearby, attendants in orange and white dhotis and gold chains accompany the procession, some holding fringed fans and staffs.
