Four men stand outdoors before a red-orange brick wall holding ceremonial umbrellas. On the left, a man in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha mala holds a magenta umbrella edged with beaded fringe, and beside him a lantern hangs from a green plant. In the centre, a smiling man with a shaved head, glasses, a red bindi, orange cloth wrapped over his shoulder and rudraksha beads holds a bright orange umbrella with a round emblem. To the right, an older man in white dhoti with gold border, vibhuti marks and rudraksha mala holds a yellow-orange umbrella, and at the far right a partly visible person in white holds a green, red and yellow umbrella. The scene suggests a procession or temple ritual.

A low white building with red-and-green decorations stands at the right, with festive garlands strung across it.
