Outdoor procession under a large orange and multicolored canopy with fringed edges and flags with bird emblems, set among pine trees on a hillside. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a cream embroidered kurta, white dhoti-style cloth, red and pink flower garlands and a bindi, smiling and clapping. Beside him a man in a white kurta and dark shawl with a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray with a coconut and offerings. Another man in glasses wears an orange shawl, and a man in a purple turban stands at the right edge beside tall banners. A woman in a dark jacket and grey shawl claps at the left. The cues for the central figure are a flower garland, cream ceremonial dress and long hair, which is not enough for a firm identification, so the label is unsure. Several people are visible in the procession.
