Outdoor street scene at a decorated shrine or procession float draped with a large orange cloth and banana leaves, with marigold and yellow garlands along a black iron railing. A bald man in an orange robe and orange shawl stands at the centre, looking down, with a dark rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck; he does not show long swept hair or a crown. Around him, men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a yellow shirt, and a bearded man with white-painted forehead in orange stand close, some holding flowers. A framed portrait is set among the flowers on the shrine. Signboards in Kannada script and a palm tree appear in the background.
