Outdoor covered walkway with red tiled floor during a rainy-looking day, a procession of devotees walking toward the camera. A man in a white shirt and maroon-and-gold shawl plays a long wind instrument. An older man in orange dhoti holds a brass tray with a lit lamp and offerings. A central figure in a rust-red dhoti and cream-gold shawl wears a long white and orange flower garland and a golden turban, walking barefoot with hands clasped. Behind him a bare-chested man in saffron, a man in white shirt, and women in white and orange saris follow; a woman in white sari with a rudraksha-style necklace holds a small hand drum. Greenery and a banana plant frame the scene, and a large orange-and-gold drum sits at the lower right.
