Outdoor procession on a paved path through green trees and flowering shrubs. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes wears a large garland of yellow, orange and pink flowers and a gold pendant, with a bright orange umbrella held over him. Several men in orange robes and white dhotis and shirts walk alongside and behind him, and one older man in a white shirt and dhoti on the right wears a vermilion mark on his forehead. Some people are barefoot. The scene suggests a ceremonial walk, with a person as the garlanded central figure in orange, though the appearance cues are not conclusive. Roughly ten to fifteen people are visible.
