Outdoor procession on wet concrete under palm trees, with coconut palms behind. A man in the centre-left wears a rust-brown garment, a red-and-white garland, gold necklaces and a tall dark hairstyle, walking on a pale runner. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders carry long staffs, ornate umbrellas and a lidded brass offering vessel. Behind them, drummers in orange cloth play drums, and women in orange saris and rudraksha malas stand at the right. Bright yellow, green and multicoloured parasols and red flags are raised overhead. The people appear to be a ceremonial procession; the central figure's identity is not established by appearance alone.
