Five men walk single file across a grassy lawn at night past palm trees, lit faintly from the side. The man at the front-left in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl carries a tall silver trident-topped staff. Behind him a man in white with rudraksha mala carries a small object. Two men in saffron-orange and red robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk in the centre; the centre figure wears a floral garland, a crown-like headpiece and a tilak on the forehead, holding a small device. The man at the right wears white with a red shawl and holds a red cloth. The scene suggests a procession or evening walk outdoors, with no visible crowd or screens.
