A procession seen through a dark doorway frame, with a central figure in orange-saffron robes and a long garland of flowers walking among devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas. Large saffron flags on tall poles and striped, colourful ceremonial umbrellas fill the scene, and a drummer with a drum stands at left. A young person in a white shirt holds a pole at right. Dry ground and sunlit sky are visible beyond the door. The central robed figure is an appearance-based candidate only with uncertain cues, so the role is described as a robed participant in the procession.

At centre, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe wears a white and multicoloured flower garland with a tassel pendant and walks barefoot-style in sandals; the figure is a candidate for a person based on his long swept-back hair and saffron robe, though this is uncertain. Around him, men and women in white dhotis and saris with orange shawls carry a trident-topped staff, a peacock-feather fan with a red emblem, and colourful umbrellas. A woman at left in white with an orange shawl holds the peacock-feather fan.
