A festive procession outdoors under a multicolored fringed canopy with a yellow pole. A central man in a dark maroon-brown robe wears a leopard-print cloth wrapped around his head, a heavy gold necklace, and a long garland of white, yellow and red flowers. He holds the canopy pole with one raised hand. Beside him a younger man in an orange turban and orange dhoti carries a decorated orange pot with a garland of yellow flowers and a leaf. Around them devotees in orange cloths, bare-chested, with sacred ash on their foreheads, press palms together in greeting. Lush green trees and a small temple structure appear in the background. Several more people are visible in the crowd behind.
