Outdoor procession at a temple-like grounds with palm trees and a red-and-white tiered shrine structure in the background. A woman in a red-and-gold wrap with a long gold necklace and a red turban smiles at the centre, while a figure in orange robes with a white beaded mala and a white tilak walks beside a man in a white dhoti and gold-trimmed cloth with a rudraksha-style mala. Several men in red, saffron and green robes and turbans follow, along with women in orange and yellow saris. A purple-draped palanquin or chariot structure stands at left, and attendants in white dhotis are visible in the crowd. The orange-robed figure with a white beaded mala is described as a probable match for a person based on saffron clothing and beaded adornment, but the appearance is uncertain, and a shaved-headed attendant in white is a priest or devotee.
