A bearded man stands in the centre of a ceremonial procession, eyes lowered and smiling slightly. He wears a tall black turban-style headdress with a crescent moon ornament, a red-orange saffron wrap over his shoulders, a heavy gold necklace and a large gold pendant, and pink-and-white flower garlands draped to his waist. Gold armbands and bangles adorn his arms, and a leopard-print cloth is visible at his waist. Behind him, attendants in yellow and white dhotis with white body markings carry a decorated ritual object with green leaves, and a row of colourful ornate deity murtis and decorations stands in the background beneath a yellow canopy.
