Outdoor ritual procession climbing stone steps covered with red runner mats, under trees. A man in the centre wears an orange-brown dhoti with gold border and a gold-edged shawl, standing barefoot on the steps; his hair is long and swept back. Behind him, boys in orange robes with red sashes, rudraksha malas and white tilak markings blow long brass horns and carry a conch, a bell-like drum and a cymbal-style instrument. Further back, saffron-robed sannyasis and a white-clad attendant walk, and a figure holds a small ornate ceremonial parasol. The scene is a temple-style outdoor procession. Several people are visible in the group.
