A festival procession on dusty ground under a bright sky. In the foreground a smiling man in a white dhoti-and-kurta with an orange shawl carries a silver tray holding a kalasha with yellow flowers and mango leaves. Beside him a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe and gold-toned necklace, with a white jasmine garland and a tricolour tassel, walks smiling, with a red mark on his forehead. Large embroidered umbrellas in red, white and multicolour are held above the group, and a silver trident is visible behind them. Around them many men in white with orange shawls walk in the procession. Long-haired man has distinctive saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace; identity from appearance is probable.
