A procession outdoors in front of a peach-coloured building with red-framed windows and a red fire-extinguisher cabinet. A man in the centre, bare-chested with a brown-and-gold wrap, wears a heavy gold necklace, a long rudraksha mala and gold armlets, and his long hair is swept back. Beside him, a woman in an orange sari and a young man in maroon with gold-banded wraps blow long brass horns, and a boy in maroon holds a conch shell. Another young man in maroon with a gold sash and rudraksha beads stands at the right. A red carpet lies on the ground and loose metal scaffolding is at the right edge. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, ornate gold adornments and rudraksha beads matches the page's a person reference, but the attribution is not certain from appearance alone.
