Outdoor festival scene with a man in an orange saffron drape and gold bell necklace raising a red-and-gold kalasha or ceremonial pot wrapped in red cloth and red flower garland above his head. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shirt with a gold pendant and red-bordered cloth holds up the same offering. Bystanders in white and colourfully stained clothing, some with coloured powder on faces, stand around a dirt ground. Behind them stand painted pillars with floral patterns and an orange-tinted building, with a signboard in the background. Scene suggests a ritual procession or pooja with coloured powder celebration.
