A large crowd walks along a narrow stone passage beside a temple wall, moving in procession toward the temple. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis with white sacred threads, and many wear rudraksha malas. At the centre, a figure in an orange-saffron robe and a saffron turban wears a long gold necklace and carries nothing visible, with an orange shawl draped over others nearby. Another man in a bare chest with white tripundra ash marks carries a brass pot on a tray. Ornate sculpted stone figures and an ochre-painted wall line the route, and a yellow-painted gate with a floral garland is at the lower right. The procession appears to be a temple procession with devotees accompanying a central figure.
