A procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and string decorations. A man in a red-and-yellow umbrella holder's group carries a multicoloured canopy with a fringe, and a bearded sannyasi in white and gold holds a trident-topped staff. A young man in saffron robes with a white turban and a long garland of red and white flowers walks at the centre, while another saffron-clad attendant in the foreground covers his mouth with his hand. Several women in white saris with gold borders kneel on the floor beside brass lamps, kalasha vessels and a small ornate lamp stand, with their hands folded in prayer. Mounted decorations and a wall display of framed images are visible in the background.
