A man in white dhoti and shirt, wearing dark-rimmed glasses and a rudraksha mala with a pendant, carries a white cloth bundle on his head while walking under a red and yellow tasselled canopy. Behind him, seated devotees in white and colourful clothes fill a open-sided hall with a corrugated roof. On the right, a figure in saffron/orange robes and a white flower garland sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat on a patterned rug, with a white-clad attendant beside. The scene appears to be a paduka procession with the sandals carried in cloth.
