A procession moves along a red carpet under an open-sided hall at dusk, with palm trees behind. Central figure wears an orange-and-gold dhoti and a long white flower garland, holding a curved ceremonial horn. Around him, men in orange and saffron robes and rudraksha malas carry a tall fan-like parasol with blue and orange trim, a trident, a kalasha-type pot and curved horns. A drummer in orange beats a drum at left, and two boys in dark tracksuits walk ahead, one holding a horn. Several men in white dhotis stand at right. The scene reads as a ritual procession.
