Outdoor procession scene with ornate pink and gold umbrellas overhead and red floral garlands strung above. In the foreground a man in a maroon and gold turban holds a tall silver staff topped with a green and pink cloth decoration. He wears layered red and multicolour beaded garlands and a leopard-print cloth over his shoulder, beside a silver lion-head ornament. Behind him a younger man in saffron and orange robes with a red tilak stands near a silver palanquin panel. A crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis fills the background. The bearer of the staff appears to be a distinctive presentation, but face and identity are not established by the image, so no name is given.
