Outdoor ceremonial procession on a pale concrete courtyard. A central man in a rust-brown dhoti with gold-bordered cloth and a long bead necklace walks barefoot along a red carpet, smiling, with both hands raised near his shoulders. Around him, men in saffron-orange dhotis with pink-red borders play long curved brass horns (ceremonial trumpets) and large drums. A small canopy and a decorated structure stand in the background among trees. A woman in orange-brown sari stands at the right edge. Several men wear necklaces and bead ornaments.

Around him, several men and youths in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps play long curved brass horns, one raising a horn high, while a drummer with a dhol-style drum walks among them. A man in white stands further back to the left.
