A procession scene under an orange and red canopy with tasselled edges and palm trees behind. In the centre, a figure in orange robes with a golden staff topped by a trident stands beside a tall, long-haired man wearing a golden crown-like headpiece and a white floral garland. Another bearded man in orange with a rudraksha-style beaded garland holds a silver tray of flowers and leaves, while a bald man in orange and glasses holds a brass kalasha filled with yellow and red flowers. Several men and a woman in white or orange stand around, some with hands folded in greeting. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
