Outdoor procession on a dusty dirt path with rocky ground and scrubby bushes behind. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, with a white garland of flowers around his neck and a bare upper body, walks at centre-right with an ornate blue, red and yellow umbrella with fringed tassels held above him by attendants in dark brown shirts and trousers. Ahead, attendants in brown shirts carry an orange and red covered palanquin or ratha-style tray, one with a white cloth and a floral offering. At left, a man in white shirt and dhoti walks beside a yellow-and-orange banner pole, and children watch from a rise. Flowers scattered on the ground and a small crowd in the background complete the scene.
