A procession outdoors in bright daylight. A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with an orange turban, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and bare chest, walks with arms raised and a tray of flowers in hand. Around him, men in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing red-and-gold ceremonial shawls and beaded pendant cords, carry or hold coconuts and flower offerings. Above them are multiple colourful ceremonial umbrellas (chhatras) in red, yellow and green with fringed tassels and a blue-and-white emblem. Flower petals scatter on a white-tiled floor in front of a colourful rangoli design. Banana bunches hang at the right edge beside a palm tree.
