A forest path with stone slabs leads through tall trees and palms toward a thatched hut. A procession moves along it: a man in a long-sleeved white dhoti with a red sash walks ahead, followed by a figure in a red-and-orange dhoti wearing a large gold-and-beaded garland and a red shawl, who is shielded by an ornate golden parasol carried by a man in white with a red sash. Another man in orange and red robes with rudraksha beads walks nearby. Small children and onlookers stand near wooden tables holding flower-decorated vessels and baskets of offerings, and a bald man in orange cloth appears at the right. The path is shaded by dense green foliage.
