Outdoor procession along a sandy garden path under leafy trees. A central figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long multicoloured flower garland with red, white and purple blooms, a white headband, and multiple beaded necklaces; he has a shaved-to-short head and walks barefoot. Several saffron-robed men follow, one carrying a tall gold ceremonial staff with a finial and another holding a long golden rod; a bearded man at right holds a brass tray or offering dish. An older man in white with an orange shawl stands at the left edge. Scattered fallen red petals and seeds lie on the ground beside a low hedge and a small black-and-white cat.
