A procession of robed men and boys walks along a dirt path between trees and an orange-painted wall. The man in front wears a gold-and-bead garland and a rust-brown dhoti with yellow borders, with gold bangles on his wrists. Beside him a bald man with a white forehead band and a rudraksha mala wears a rust-brown robe, and a young boy behind wears orange robes. Other attendants in orange and maroon robes follow, and a drummer with a large drum appears at the right edge. The setting is a campus with a football goal and green lawns. Two candidates for the front-walking figure are plausible from appearance alone, so identity is uncertain.
