A procession walks through a covered colonnade of a temple town street, with a temple gopuram and a gateway visible behind. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-red robe, a yellow shawl, and heavy white and magenta flower garlands with green leaves, and holds a ceremonial staff. Around him, men in orange and saffron robes wear rudraksha and beaded malas, one bare-chested man wears a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala, and a shirtless devotee in the foreground has a red tilak. Thatched stalls and colourful shops line the route.
