A procession walks along a red carpet across an open courtyard with an orange-brick wall behind. A central man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a heavy gold necklace, a multi-strand rudraksha mala and gold armlets, walks barefoot and carries nothing visible in his hands. Around him, young boys and girls in red and saffron robes play long brass horns and conch shells, and one boy in orange carries a brass plate of offerings topped with green leaves. A clock hangs on the wall and palm trees stand behind. Wood poles and a drum edge the frame at right. The dress and procession suggest a ritual temple walk.
