Outdoor procession along a dirt path through green foliage. A central figure in an orange-red robe and matching turban, with long dark hair, walks with palms pressed together in greeting and wears a long white garland and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind them, a colourful striped parasol with tassels is held aloft. Two men in saffron-orange robes flank the central figure, one carrying a white cloth tray of flower petals. Around them, men in white shirts and white dhotis walk barefoot, some with garlands and necklaces, and more people stand among the trees behind. Orange flags hang in the background.
