Outdoor procession under colourful parasols and a string-lit canopy among trees. At centre, a bearded man in a rust-red turban and matching red-brown robe holds a silver trident aloft and wears a white-and-pink flower garland, a gold pendant and rudraksha beads, with gold bangles on his wrists; he appears to be the one honoured in the procession, though the appearance cues are limited. Around him, devotees in orange, red and saffron clothing, a woman in a red sari, and men in white dhotis walk closely, some with sandalwood-marked foreheads and beaded malas. Large parasols in red, yellow and pink with beaded fringes are held above the group, and a silver-topped parasol rises at centre. Several women in green, yellow and cream saris stand along the left side.
