A crowded outdoor procession on a narrow path lined with rocks and greenery. At centre, a young man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a white flower garland walks among devotees, with another saffron-clad attendant beside him. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis press close, some reaching out, while two ornate red and gold canopy umbrellas with a blue emblem hang overhead on a ratha-style frame. A woman in a turquoise sari and a child stand at the right edge, and a boy watches from the left. The scene suggests a devotional procession.
