A barefoot figure in an orange-red robe and a thick red and white flower garland walks down a red carpet in a white-walled corridor with a metal railing. Several attendants in white dhoti-style clothes and yellow shawls walk behind, and two of them hold large colourful ceremonial umbrellas with green, red and blue panels and tasselled fringes. A man in an orange robe walks beside the garlanded figure. Palm trees and greenery are visible through the open doorway ahead, and a wall of orange lattice gates stands to the left. The figure in red-orange and garland, centred, is the procession's central figure, and the setting appears to be the entry to a temple during a welcome procession.
