Outdoor procession on a paved path lined with palm trees, a red compound wall and a tall tree at right. Drummers in white shirts and dhotis carry drums on the left, and people in white and saffron clothing walk behind them. A striped umbrella canopy with a multicoloured fringe is carried over a central figure, and a crimson-and-gold ornamented panel, a trident-topped staff and an orange flag are visible. Several devotees in white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing lanyards with orange tags, walk along the path. Four or more prominent persons are visible, several more are partially visible, and a bald man in white stands at right.
