Outdoors on a rain-misted riverside path, several men in orange and saffron clothing walk barefoot in a procession. In the centre, a pink and orange tent-like kanwar or palanquin structure, decorated with yellow and pink marigold garlands and red flags, is carried on poles by men. A man in front wears an orange turban, orange shorts and a yellow-and-orange bag strapped across his chest. Behind him another man in an orange turban and a blue-and-yellow patterned shorts carries a pole, and further back devotees in orange and pink clothing follow. A river and a red bridge with railings are visible behind, with trees and wooden barriers in the foreground.
