A man in a dark maroon robe with a long white-and-pink flower garland, hair swept back and beard, walks centrally and appears to be the figure being honoured; a rainbow-fringed umbrella on a tall golden pole is held above him. Beside him a bare-chested man in orange cloth carries a tray with a red and white floral offering and a garland. A woman in orange sari carries a wooden tray at left. Two bare-chested men in white dhotis with pink borders and rudraksha malas walk in front, and a man in orange and white with a rudraksha mala stands at right.

The scene suggests a pada-puja style procession.2011-12-12
