Outdoor evening procession scene on dusty ground. A tall figure in a black robe-like costume with a grey elephant-trunk shaped head piece and a short sword in one hand stands on a wooden pole carried by men. Behind it hangs a large orange cloth backdrop. Around the figure, a man in a white kurta with a beaded necklace and lanyard badge stands at left, and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and shawl holds the pole at right; another man in a white shirt stands at far right. Trees and a white fence line the background under a pale sky.

One man at left in a white dhoti and white head covering raises a curved sword overhead. Another man in an orange-red cloth and ornate headdress and a bare-chested man in white and maroon hold poles and the figure aloft. A man on the right carries a bundle of straw.
