A central figure in a maroon robe and a red turban wears a large garland of white flowers and a gold-toned necklace, walking beneath a tall ornate parasol with fringed, multicoloured border and orange canopy. Attendants in saffron and orange robes walk beside and behind, one holding a bundle of flowers and another a tray. A white-clad man with a rudraksha mala walks at the right edge. Strings of paper flags hang across the building front, a yellow flowering shrub stands at left, and a forested hill rises behind under a pale sky.
