A long column of devotees walks barefoot along a narrow dirt lane beside a blue-painted wall, under leafy trees, during what appears to be a procession. Most wear white clothes with orange shawls draped over their shoulders; several men have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads, and some wear rudraksha malas. Women walk in white and light-blue saris and salwar-style outfits, and an elderly woman in the foreground wears a white top and orange shawl with a red bindi. No one in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person, and no throne or central figure is visible.
