Outdoor procession in front of a long red-walled building with a green corrugated roof and small ornate finials. Several men in saffron-orange robes carry decorated umbrellas and a small ceremonial object on a staff. One central figure has long dark hair and a bare upper body, holding a tall umbrella with a red fringe, while other saffron-clad attendants walk alongside. A dense group of devotees in white and pale clothes, including women in white saris and children, stands on the dirt ground to watch. A red flag flies on a pole at the right edge. A figure with a crown-like headpiece cannot be confidently identified, so the candidate is unsure. Approximately 30 physical people are visible.
