In front, a man in a saffron-red robe with a red-and-white flower garland walks barefoot; beside him, a man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl holds a tall umbrella with a dark embroidered canopy. Behind them a man in red and a white-clad attendant carry lamps and a flaming torch, and a crowd of devotees in white and red shawls follows. Another figure with a red-and-yellow shawl and visible rudraksha beads walks at left, with a white-clad attendant beside him. The scene is a ratha/palanquin procession.
