A procession on a red carpet under two large ornate parasols with yellow and multicolour fringed canopies. In front, a man in white shirt and trousers holds a long pole. Behind, several men in maroon and orange headwraps and dhotis, with rudraksha malas, walk beside a woman in a deep red sari with a gold-bead garland. Centre, a woman in saffron-orange robes and a white bead necklace walks with hands folded. A bearded older man, bare-chested with many rudraksha malas and a large gold pendant, wears a white dhoti and gestures forward with his right arm. To the right, a man in yellow dhoti and shawl with a red-bordered ribbon walks beside a woman in white. A canopy structure stands in the background among trees. The figures show no clear a person cues beyond general presentation, so identity is uncertain.
