Outdoor procession scene on a dirt ground in front of a white building, with banana leaves and a saffron-and-red banner on a pole. A long-haired man with a bare upper torso wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and a white and red flower garland, raising a hand and smiling. He is the centre of a crowd; a woman in cream and red-bordered sari with a garland and folded hands smiles beside him, and a man in cream clothes with a saffron shawl stands behind. Several people with colourful umbrellas and white-clad attendants frame the scene, and a bystander photographs with a camera.
