Outdoor procession scene in bright daylight. A smiling man in a rust-red turban, dark red-brown robe and a heavy multi-strand brown and gold rudraksha-style mala stands at centre, with gold bangles on his arm. Around him are devotees in saffron and orange robes, a uniformed police officer in a dark cap, and a man in dark sunglasses in an orange robe holding marigold garlands. Behind them stands an ornate white and gold palanquin or ratha decorated with pink flowers, green leaf garlands and marigold strings, with an elderly bearded sadhu in orange robes and a white beard seated or standing inside. A silver trident-like staff is visible at left. The scene suggests a festive procession with garlanded decorations.
