A procession walks along a paved temple path toward a pink-walled temple gateway with a green-tiled roof, with a hill and palm trees behind. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-orange shawl over an orange robe, and multiple beaded necklaces walks in front of a group of barefoot men in saffron-orange robes, several wearing ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha malas. Men in white dhotis and white shirts with beaded necklaces walk among them, and one man carries a brass kalasha-style vessel. The scene suggests a temple procession with devotees following the central figure.
