A procession walks along a dirt road lined with palm trees and bushes under a clear sky. Two large ceremonial parasols with red, yellow and green panels and blue dove emblems are held above the group. In the centre, a man in an orange robe wears a long flower garland and walks beside a saffron-robed figure with a rudraksha-style necklace and a red shawl. Men in white dhotis and yellow shawls carry staffs and a brass kalasha-type pot, while other men in white shirts and dhotis follow behind. The scene looks like a ritual procession of devotees.
