A procession crosses an open grassy field in front of a rocky hillside with scattered boulders and a wire fence. Two people in the foreground hold pale peach umbrellas over the group. The lead man in a white shirt and white trousers raises one hand. Behind him, a figure in a long white robe with an orange shawl, rudraksha mala and a necklace walks beside a woman in orange sari-style drapes with long dark hair. Further right, a bearded man wears orange robes and a pink-orange cloth, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti carries a yellow cloth or flowers. Several others in white and yellow garments follow at the back under mango-type trees.
