A procession on a dirt path beneath large leafy trees and a clear blue sky. A central figure in a deep red-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing a long gold-toned pendant necklace, a white and multicoloured flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala, walks beneath a blue, orange and white fringed ceremonial umbrella with a gold finial held by an attendant in orange. Other robed attendants in red, orange and saffron walk behind, one in an orange garment with a rudraksha mala. A small signboard and a low stone wall stand in the foreground. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so no identification is made.
