Outdoor procession at a festival with a red and white fringed canopy on a gold-tipped pole overhead. A man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a rudraksha mala, raises his arms and smiles while a woman in white with a red-brown mala holds a yellow flag and smiles beside him. Around them, people in white kurtas and shirts walk, one man in sunglasses, and white and blue flags flutter against green foliage. Whether the orange-robed man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
