An outdoor procession scene under bright sun. In the foreground a man with headphones and a dark grey t-shirt films with a camera, and beside him a person in an orange saffron garment stretches out a hand toward a golden deity figure with a crown mounted on a pink-draped float. The float is decorated with long garlands of red, pink, yellow and white flowers, and a framed painted image of a deity with a gold arch sits above. A girl in white with a long braid faces the float, and a person in white clothing stands at the right edge beside pink drapes. White temple spires and palm trees are visible in the background.
