Outdoor street scene in bright daylight with shop signs and buildings behind. Two saffron-robed figures stand at the centre. The figure on the right, an older man with a bare head, grey-white sacred ash marks and a red bindi, lifts both arms to hold a long wooden pole overhead, wearing layered rudraksha mala necklaces and a gold-coloured bangle. Beside him, a younger man smiles, wearing a saffron cloth, a gold beaded necklace, a rudraksha mala and gold hoop earrings, with white ash on his arms and forehead. Around them, onlookers in white clothes and a man in white on the far right crowd the procession. Appearance-based identification is uncertain, so the older central figure is described by role only.
