Aerial view of a large procession on a dirt road beside a long red-curtained tent with a white corrugated roof. Hundreds of participants, mostly men and women in white ritual clothing, walk in dense rows carrying orange-red flags on poles and small red placards. Some hold orange-red ornamental umbrellas, and a decorated palanquin-style float with gold and red canopies moves near the front. A green dustbin, banana plants, parked vehicles and a distant stage area appear in the scene. The procession appears to be a pada yatra, a walking pilgrimage.
