A large outdoor procession of many devotees in white clothing moves along a palm-lined rural road. Men and women in white dhotis, saris and shirts fill the foreground and middle distance, with some women wearing orange-bordered white saris and several people holding small orange and red flags. Coconut palms, leafy trees and a white boundary wall frame the road, and a white canopy and a folded white screen stand at the right. In the distance a red-roofed structure and a golden palanquin or float appear within the crowd. A procession with many people; no clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the foreground, and the distant central figures are too small to confirm.
