A procession on a paved courtyard beside an open-sided pavilion and palm trees. A large canopy with a striped fringed top is carried over a garland-draped palanquin or ratha decorated with bright flower garlands in red, white and yellow. Men in orange and saffron dhotis, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, carry poles of the palanquin, while an older bald man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala walks in front holding a yellow bag. Women in orange saris and a woman in red follow, with smaller decorated umbrellas behind. The scene suggests a temple procession.
