A procession moves along a shaded dirt path beneath large trees. In front, a woman in an orange sari carries a brass tray with a kalasha-like vessel decorated with yellow marigold garlands and white beads. Beside her, a young woman in a white sari and blue blouse holds a framed portrait of a seated figure in orange robes with a long rudraksha mala, one hand raised in blessing; this printed portrait is not a physical person. Behind them, young boys in orange cloth play drums and long brass horns. Several people in saffron garments follow. The scene looks like a temple procession carrying a sacred vessel and a framed image.
