Outdoors on a wet dirt path with puddles, a figure in an orange-saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair walks at the front, holding a wooden staff in one hand and a silver umbrella held over him by a young man in white. He is flanked by children in white and light clothing, including a girl in a floral sleeveless dress holding hands with a boy, and a younger child wearing a beaded mala. A large green-roofed red building with a row of decorative finials stands behind, with a crowd in white clothes walking in the background and a lone boy in white kurta standing at right. Cloudy sky and green shrubs complete the scene.
