Outdoor procession scene in front of a decorated temple shrine with a deity murti visible in its niche. A man in the center wears an orange-red turban with a gold ornament, a red and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala, and an ornate gold pendant necklace over saffron-orange robes, eyes closed. Two assistants in white dhotis hold a large gold-handled ceremonial umbrella and a red parasol above him. Other attendants in saffron and white dhotis stand nearby, one holding a plantain-leaf offering. Colourful striped and tasselled canopy decorations hang overhead. Presentation matches several distinctive ceremonial cues, so this is a person appearance in person.
