A procession walks along a stone-paved path between green lawns toward a tall white temple gopuram with sculpted figures and a small red flag at the top. At the centre, a man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a white flower garland around his neck, walks barefoot beneath a multicoloured canopy umbrella held by a figure in yellow. Beside him a woman in a white sari with an orange border carries a silver tray of flowers. Men in orange robes walk ahead, and a man in white on the right stands with hands folded. Palm trees and dense foliage frame the scene.
