Outdoor procession at a festival, with a tall figure in saffron-orange robes standing on an elevated platform, reaching toward a decorated deity murti of a seated figure garlanded with marigolds and yellow flowers, flanked by a second garlanded murti in blue. Behind, a framed portrait of a man in orange robes with a garland and beaded necklace is set within a canopy of multicoloured bunting and stripes. A large red, yellow and green parasol with tassels is held over the scene by a bald man with a tilak in orange clothing. Around them, several young men and women in orange and maroon robes stand with palms pressed together in prayer, some with long curly hair. Palm trees and a bright blue sky are visible behind.
