Centre, a man with long hair and a dark brown-maroon shawl and a white flower garland walks behind a golden-handled parasol with multicoloured fringe, held by a man in orange-saffron garments. Behind him another man in orange and a bare-chested man in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala walk along the carpet. At right, a bare-chested young man in orange wrap and rudraksha beads. Coloured lights and flowering bougainvillea decorate the background, with a man in a white dhoti and shirt at centre-right. The scene reads as a formal procession.
