A man in a rust-brown garment with a floral garland and a trident-topped staff walks at the centre under a multicoloured fringed canopy held on a pole, with a lit torch beside it. Behind him, men in saffron-orange dhotis, some with rudraksha malas and forehead markings, carry ritual items, and a man in white with a mala follows. Further back, a decorated palanquin with a red umbrella and a deity murti is carried by people in white.
