A procession on a stone-paved path beside a red temple building with a green gate. Two drummers in orange robes at the left play a round drum and a stick, one with white forehead markings. Several people in white dhotis with gold borders carry colourful umbrellas (red, pink, blue, teal, yellow) above them, while a central figure in a rust-red robe with rudraksha beads and a head covering leads the line. Beside the path a dark stone deity murti with a garland sits in a golden arch. Trees and a cloudy sky are behind.
