Outdoor procession on sandy ground during a religious festival. A central figure with long dark hair, a white forehead mark and rudraksha-style gold ceremonial garlands wears a saffron-orange shawl and holds his palms together. His appearance (long swept hair, ornate gold garlands, saffron garb) matches the a person cues, so he is labelled a person in this description. Beside him a young man in saffron robes and gold garlands holds a silver tray of fruit, coconut and flowers. A man in orange carries a tall golden ceremonial staff topped with a trident, and attendants in white dhotis and kurtas stand around. A woman in a yellow sari and gold bangles is seen at the lower right near offering plates. A green and red decorated canopy hangs at the top right.
