Outdoor scene among large grey granite boulders and green trees. A procession of children and young people moves through a grassy clearing. A woman in a teal kurta with beige dupatta stands at left, a girl in a brown top and red garment is near her, and several boys in white shirts, checked shorts and a yellow t-shirt crowd in. A boy in white dhoti and shirt carries a brass vessel, and another holds a kalasha-like brass pot. Behind them a red and gold decorated palanquin or ratha with a golden finial stands before the rocks. Nearby a small red cloth and offering sits on a rock ledge. Scattered white dhotis and kurtas suggest a puja procession.
