Outdoor procession under tall red, orange and yellow ceremonial umbrellas with tasselled fringes and orange flags behind. A central figure with long dark hair, a red bindi and a long orange robe, hands pressed together in greeting, wears a multicoloured flower garland and a white flower garland. Several men in orange robes and gold-coloured necklaces walk alongside; one carries a golden trident on a pole, another holds an umbrella pole, and a man in front wears a rudraksha-style bead garland and a gold pendant. A puff of white cotton-like cloth floats in the left foreground. Some onlookers in white clothing stand at the edges. Appearance suggests a person in the central position, though this is uncertain from appearance alone.
