Outdoor procession on a garden path lined with palm trees and yellow-green shrubs. Two large umbrellas are held overhead: one dark navy with green, orange and yellow tassels, the other red, yellow and blue with fringe. A golden trident stands upright in the crowd. Devotees in white kurtas and dhotis wear saffron-orange shawls, and women in white saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas press palms together in greeting. Some women in yellow shawls clap, and one holds a brass tray heaped with yellow laddus. A dark car is visible behind the group. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues, so the figures are described by role only.
