A procession on a dirt path outdoors, with a corrugated-roof building and banana plants behind. Two tall umbrellas with multicoloured panels, red, yellow, green and blue, tasselled and embroidered, are carried over the group. A central figure in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head covering and a gold-and-red beaded garland walks forward, hands at his chest. Nearby, a golden staff topped with a trident is held up. Men in white dhotis with yellow shawls walk alongside, and a bearded sannyasi in red robes and a bald man in red with a gold necklace follow. Some people wear white shirts, and one man carries a small metal vessel. Several people are visible in the procession.
