A crowd moves along a dirt path past a thatched-roof structure, with a hill and a ratha-like frame with flags in the background. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a large gold ceremonial necklace, and raises his right hand in greeting while holding a white paper. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a saffron shawl walks with hands pressed together. Around them, men in white dhotis and orange or yellow shawls press forward, one wearing a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a light patterned sari stands at the right edge. Several lights on a stand are visible above. Whether the central figure is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
