A large outdoor procession on a dirt road lined with banana plants and a red tent wall. Hundreds of people in white clothing, many holding bright orange-red flags and placards, walk toward the viewer. Ornate golden palanquin canopies with decorative umbrella tops rise above the crowd at the upper left, and a few people in orange robes stand among the marchers. A pole with a cage-like structure runs along the left edge. Several men in white play brass horns at lower right, and a green metal bin stands at right. Many placards show a small portrait and printed Kannada-style text. No individual figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the candidate is unsure.
