Behind her, another woman in a maroon sari and gold earrings stands with hands folded at her side. On the right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti has white sacred ash marks on his forehead, and his hands are pressed together.

A crowd at an outdoor procession, with a foreground man in a white shirt and black beaded mala pressing his palms together in anjali, a sindoor-style mark on his forehead and a yellow-and-orange rosette pinned to his chest. Beside him an older woman in glasses wears an orange blouse and a green-and-orange sari with gold bangles, also in anjali. Behind them a young man in a blue dotted shirt holds his hands at his chest, and several men in white shirts and dhotis stand close, some with vibhuti or tilak marks. A white umbrella appears at the upper right.

A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a braid holds folded hands near her chest and carries a bundle wrapped in lavender cloth. An older woman in a teal green sari with a maroon blouse and bangles also holds her palms together, and a man with a white beard and white clothes with a sash-like wrap stands beside her, leaning on a blue crutch with his hands folded. Around them men in white kurtas and dhotis stand, one in a light checked shirt wearing glasses. A mound of earth and a red-and-white painted border sit behind them.
