A central figure in a rust-orange robe and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant walks along a green-carpeted path in a white-walled hall. He is holding a golden staff topped with a finial and is shaded by a bright yellow parasol with a sequined fringe held by an attendant. Around him, several men in white dhotis with gold borders, some wearing rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, walk in procession. One man at the right wears a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala and stands with his hands folded. Others in the background wear rust-coloured cloth. A procession with a parasol and staff suggests a ceremonial escort, but the scene shows no specific ritual act.
