Outdoor ritual procession under large trees. A central man with a dark beard wears a maroon turban with a gold ornament, heavy gold necklaces, a pink and white flower garland, gold armbands and a rudraksha-style neck mala, holding a small silver bell in one hand and an aarti-type flame or incense vessel in the other. Around him, sannyasis in saffron and orange dhotis with white tripundra markings on their foreheads hold brass aarti plates with flowers, a lit oil lamp, and a smoking incense or flame vessel. Women in pink and orange saris with hands folded stand behind them. A large decorated umbrella or canopy with colourful fringe appears at the left edge, and a man in white cloth stands near it. The scene suggests an aarti or puja procession.
