Outdoor scene on a riverbank with rounded stones and red brick steps. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair and a bare chest wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and walks down the steps. Beside him, a man in white kurta and white dhoti with an orange shawl holds a large red, orange and teal umbrella with tassels, marked with the printed word Peetam. Behind them, a crowd of men, some in shirts and some in orange sannyasi robes, stands and sits watching on the stones under an overcast sky. A man in a yellow patterned shirt and an older man in a light shirt are visible among the onlookers. The long-haired figure in saffron, shown with a bare chest and ceremonial umbrella escort, has distinctive visible cues consistent with a person, walking as the central figure of the procession.
