A crowded outdoor procession on a dusty village lane lined with palm trees. In the left foreground a man with a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange robe, wearing a long white flower garland, walks barefoot in front of a crowd of men in white dhotis and shirts. Near the centre, a man in white with a long orange-red rudraksha-style garland and a pendant is surrounded by followers. A parked car and a decorated umbrella with red and blue panels stand behind the crowd, and a man at right films with a handheld camera. Hands are raised toward the figure in saffron, and onlookers press in from every side.
