Outdoor procession under trees on a dry ground. A figure in orange and saffron clothing sits on a white ornate carriage or palanquin decorated with orange fabric and flags, while bystanders in white clothes walk beside and around it. Striped umbrellas in red, blue and white shade the scene, and a group of onlookers gathers below in mixed clothing, one holding a teal balloon. Green leafy branches frame the foreground. The seated figure's face and build are not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so no appearance-based a person label is given.

Several people in white ritual clothing and white caps walk around the cart, some holding poles and umbrellas. Multicoloured parasols and bright balloons in orange, pink, yellow and green add colour.

Behind them, a seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a white shawl sits on a decorated throne-like seat, raising one hand, while two ornate parasols with fringed tassels in orange, green and blue, bearing small dove emblems, shelter the seat.
