Outdoor procession on a dirt ground in front of a red shipping container and tree line. Under a colourful ceremonial umbrella with peacock and floral motifs, a central figure in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl wears a tall white-and-red crown and a long pink-and-white garland plus an orange bead necklace, walking barefoot. Men in white dhotis and shirts with rudraksha-style malas walk around him, some holding a long pole and others with hands folded. A woman in an orange sari and a man in white on the right walk alongside, and a decorated ceremonial stand with orange and red banners appears behind. The scene suggests a ceremonial procession.
