Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees and green shrubs. Several young men and women in white dhotis and white kurtas, some with orange or saffron shawls and yellow shawls, walk in a line. Two decorated umbrellas and ornate ceremonial fans with embroidered red, gold and blue motifs are carried on poles. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a flower garland walks barefoot, carrying a small shrine-like figure, possibly a deity murti, while others hold flower bundles. Orange flags are carried at the rear. The scene appears to be a padayatra-style procession.
