Outdoor ritual procession on a sunlit dirt path beside a red-brick building. A bearded man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and white ash marks, wears a rust-brown robe over a gold chain and multiple rudraksha malas. He wears a thick garland of red, white, yellow and purple flowers, holds a silver pot with embossed decoration in both hands, and looks downward with eyes closed. A gold-topped umbrella with red tassels is held above him. Behind him, saffron-robed attendants and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala stand; a man in white dhoti stands at the left edge.
