A long-haired man with a bare upper torso and a reddish-orange wrap stands on a multicoloured striped mat at the bottom, with gold armlets. Around him, several people in saffron-orange robes play drums and walk up the steps, including a young girl in orange carrying a small drum and a bare-shouldered figure beside a drum at the right edge. The scene suggests a ritual procession across the steps.
