A large outdoor procession moves along a dirt road lined with banana plants and a red tent on the right. Many people in white clothing carry red-orange flags and hold small framed portrait cards. Drummers in saffron-coloured turbans and white outfits beat large drums in the foreground. A decorated palanquin or ratha with a canopy and umbrellas is visible at the upper left, and a white truck with a black water tank stands nearby. A devotee in a yellow shirt and white dhoti walks to the lower right. No individual in the crowd can be identified as a person with sufficient cues, so the candidate status is uncertain.
