Outdoor procession on a dirt ground with a large crowd. A central man with long dark swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange robe and a long garland of white flowers with multicoloured ribbon-like accents, smiling and walking forward; the appearance is consistent with the a person cues of long hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland. To his left an older man in white dhoti and shirt with a green shawl walks with a cane, and devotees in white, black shirts and saffron robes follow. A metal scaffold frame and trees stand behind the crowd, which numbers roughly 50 to 100 visible people.
