A festive cultural procession inside a decorated tent with a red carpet and colourful paper tassels hanging from the ceiling. A central saffron-robed figure with long hair, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala holds a staff under a large orange ornate parasol; the figure's appearance is not clearly identifiable, so this is a sannyasi in an orange umbrella procession. Around him, men in white dhotis and bare-chested performers hold a trident and ceremonial items, while women in pink, blue and purple saris stand with garlands. Drummers in red shirts play large drums and hand drums in the foreground, and a man in an orange top sits playing a big drum. Ornate decorated poles with peacock-like finials frame the scene.
