Several men in ceremonial Hindu temple attire walk in procession through a courtyard lined with terracotta-tiled roofs. The central figure wears a rust-brown dhoti and wrap, a heavy red and white flower garland, layered gold ornaments and a large gold pendant, with a pink lotus-flower crown on a black turban. Around him, men with long swept-up dark hair and turbans wear rudraksha malas, gold chains and saffron or orange cloth. A man at left wears white with gold-bordered dhoti and a red shawl. Behind them, a few onlookers in white and colourful saris stand by a gate, and a figure in white stands at right. This appears to be a temple visit to a Devi shrine, shown only through the visible procession.
