Outdoor procession on a dusty path under red and multicoloured parasols with tassels, palm trees behind. A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a white dhoti and shawl, a red and white flower garland and a gold necklace, walks with hands folded at the centre. Around him, saffron-clad sannyasis wear orange robes and beaded malas; one holds a golden staff with a finial, and a bearded man in saffron walks nearby. Men in white dhotis and a figure in a pink-orange shawl and gold necklace follow; a crowd of onlookers lines the route. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so the attribution is left unsure.
