A procession scene outdoors where a man in a cream-white kurta stands with his back to the camera, raising a white flower garland over the head of a bare-chested man with long dark hair and a red-brown mark on his forehead. Around them, a woman in a deep red sari with a brown rudraksha-style mala stands on the left, and several men in saffron and white attire hold silver staffs. Behind them are ornate embroidered parasols and umbrellas in red, orange and gold, with flags and a red-and-white palanquin-style canopy. The garland is being placed in a ceremonial honouring during a religious procession.
