A festival procession under a open-sided covered pavilion with hanging decorative lamps and banners. Drummers in saffron-orange dhotis and red sashes walk at left, playing round white drums. Behind them a man in a grey shirt and dhoti, and several people in white and orange, carry or walk beside large decorative umbrellas with fringed tassels in orange, red and green. Centre foreground, a standing figure in saffron-orange robes and a red turban wears a long garland of white and pink flowers and a rudraksha-style garland; this figure is a life-size printed or cut-out image carried upright on a red carpet runner, not a physical person. Other attendees in orange and white garments follow along the red-carpeted path.
