Street procession in a narrow city lane: a man in an orange robe with long dark hair, green and white garlands and a yellow marigold garland at his feet walks with palms joined in greeting. A man in white kurta and trousers holds a red and blue umbrella canopy with tassels over him, a palanquin-style procession. Men and women in white and blue clothing follow, some smiling and folding hands; a man holds a long orange-yellow garland pole on the right. A cameraman films on the left, and shop signage for HDFC Bank and Hotel Omni lines the street. The orange-robed figure's appearance matches the page's reference to a person, with long swept hair, saffron robe and garlands, so he is a person.
