Night procession on a palm-lined path lit by strings of lights, with a red, yellow and green umbrella held over a central figure. The central figure wears a saffron robe with a long white and orange flower garland and is walking forward smiling. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts and others in orange and saffron robes walk closely together, some with yellow scarves and rudraksha malas. A banner with portrait images hangs at the upper left, and many onlookers fill the background.
