A procession moves along a paved path lined with palm trees under an overcast sky. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and a thick multicolour flower garland around the neck, walking between a man in a red shirt and dark trousers and a man in white. Several men in white kurta-style clothes with yellow shawls carry three large ornate umbrellas in red, yellow and green with white fringes and tall poles, plus a yellow flag on a pole at right. Other people in white, yellow and orange garments follow behind, including a small child in a blue shirt.
