Outdoor procession on a paved road among tall pines with patches of snow. A central man with long swept-back dark hair wears a cream embroidered kurta and a pink and orange flower garland, holding a folded white cloth; he appears to be a person with distinctive long hair and garland cues, walking beneath a large multicoloured canopy umbrella with fringed tassels. To his left, a man in white kurta and dark shawl with a rudraksha-style mala carries a brass plate with a coconut and offerings. To the right, a man in an orange saffron shawl over white clothes leans in, and a man in a purple turban and dark sweater stands behind. Onlookers and a woman in a dark coat watch, and colourful decorated poles and banners frame the scene.
