A photograph of a procession on a dirt road lined with trees and a utility pole. At the centre, a palanquin decorated with multicoloured floral garlands and a multicoloured canopy is carried forward. Near it, a man in an orange robe stands beside a figure in white dhoti and white shirt who holds the palanquin's ornate gold-coloured pole. Several white-clad devotees, some carrying orange flags with a blue emblem, walk along both sides, and uniformed men in khaki shirts and dark trousers march nearby. Multiple small multicoloured umbrellas are visible further back. A central figure in an orange robe appears to be a person, distinguished by the orange saffron clothing and the elevated, honoured position within the palanquin procession.
