A procession scene outdoors in daylight. A person in a red-orange turban and saffron-red robe, with a rudraksha-bead and gold necklace and gold armbands, sits under a golden canopy on a decorated palanquin, smiling and raising one hand. Gold-and-green poles with long purple, red, yellow and green tassels frame the canopy, and marigold garlands hang from it. Behind, an attendant in a white dhoti and gold necklace holds a red pole, and another man in white with glasses and beads sits at the right. Crowds line the street, and a pink umbrella and red flags are visible. Several people are in view, including partially visible onlookers.
