Outdoors among trees, a procession climbs a set of pale stone steps covered with red carpet runners. A central man in rust-orange robes with a yellow-edged shawl, a large rudraksha mala and a white flower garland, with a tilak on his forehead, walks down the steps, flanked by a cluster of attendants in orange and saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. Several young boys in orange dhotis and sashes stand beside them, one raising a long curved horn to his lips. Other attendants hold long wooden staffs and a tall trident-like standard topped with a trident finial, and a few men in white dhotis and a woman in a blue sari stand in the background. Plain-clothed onlookers in white shirts and casual clothes watch from the left. a person cues: the central figure is the only one wearing a long garland and a large mala, and he leads the procession with a tall-staff bearer behind him; however, the face and presentation are not distinct enough to confirm, so this is recorded as unsure.
