A procession crosses an open paved courtyard under a corrugated-roof pavilion, with palm trees behind. A long red carpet runs down the centre. A central man in a brown-gold dhoti with a gold necklace and a yellow-gold sash walks barefoot, with a large curved golden horn raised by a drummer at left and a crescent-shaped ornament held aloft. Around him, young men and women in saffron-orange robes walk in pairs, some with hands folded in namaskar, and one carries a tray of offerings. A woman in white with a garland, and a bald-headed boy in orange, complete the line. A drummer in red and white beats a barrel drum at left. The scene looks like a ritual or ceremonial procession.
