Outdoor procession on a dirt road beside a dry, tilled field and sparse trees. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a white flower garland and a rudraksha mala walks barefoot-style in orange sandals, smiling, under a large red and multicolour canopy umbrella held aloft on poles. Behind him, a woman in a yellow sari carries a decorated kalasha-like pot on a tray. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts, and women in saris, follow along the road, with a white van parked in the background. The scene suggests a ceremonial walk to a temple.
