A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban with a red bindi stands outdoors in a procession, holding a folded white cloth or paper packet in both hands. Long dark hair falls over his shoulders and he wears a heavy gold necklace of ornate beads and a gold pendant. Behind him, a purple canopy with red tassels and a white flag on a pole shelter the crowd. To the right, a man in white shirt and dark trousers with reddish hair smiles and holds the canopy pole. Other devotees in white and orange garments, some with rudraksha malas, surround the group under trees on a dusty roadside. The orange-robed central figure matches the page's a person cues: long swept-back hair, saffron turban and ornate gold beads, but appearance alone is not conclusive.
