Outdoor road procession with a crowd of devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and red flags. A man in a rust-red saffron robe and bare feet walks at centre, with a red-and-gold parasol held over him. Beside him a bare-chested devotee in white dhoti wears a rudraksha mala. Behind them a red-robed figure carries a flag. A large red-and-gold decorated parasol is raised above a framed portrait figure carried aloft, garlanded with red and white flowers. A red scooter and a red truck are visible at left. Trees line the roadside. Whether the centre man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is marked unsure.
