A procession on a stone-paved path under a sunlit sky. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a rust-red saffron-toned cloth, a gold necklace and a dark rudraksha mala, holding a silver trident and smiling while extending his hand. Beside him stands a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holding a silver ritual staff. At left, a man in a white shirt and white head cloth holds a golden bowl of offerings on a white plate toward the group. Behind them, white-clad and red-clad devotees carry silver staffs, and a red and gold ceremonial umbrella with tasselled fringe shades the procession. Several people wear rudraksha malas.
