Outdoor procession scene with a central figure in a maroon-and-gold dhoti and a heavy gold necklace draped with white and red flower garlands, standing amid several saffron-robed monks and men in white. A shaved-headed monk in saffron stands behind him, and an older man in an orange shawl with white flower garlands holds his hands together in namaskar. Men in white bend forward at the bottom of the frame, and an umbrella-like ornate canopy with gold fittings appears overhead. Crowd members in white and saffron surround the group on a dusty roadside. The central figure's appearance and adornments are not sufficiently distinctive to establish identity, so no candidate is named.
