A figure in an orange turban and saffron robes stands with palms pressed together in namaskar at a temple procession, with a long garland of red and green flowers and gold ornaments on his chest and upper arms. A red and teal fringed parasol is held above him. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands to the left, and men in white dhotis with gold borders flank the scene, one holding a long ceremonial staff. Yellow marigold petals cover the ground and a temple gopuram is visible behind. The orange-robed figure has long dark hair and wears a rudraksha-style necklace of gold beads, cues consistent with the page's description of a person appearance, though the identification is not certain.
