A large outdoor procession photographed from an elevated stand, with a dense crowd of people largely dressed in white moving across a dry open ground lined with banana plants. At the centre, a decorated ornamental float or ratha carrying a figure is raised above the crowd, its gold-and-red structure visible among the foliage. Orange saffron flags are held aloft at several points. A blue signboard in the middle reads 'Ananda Linga' and 'Vidya Sarovar'. Parked white cars, a green truck and rows of hung white cloth line the roadside in front. Many people wear white dhotis and kurtas, and several women wear saris. Nothing about the figure on the float can be made out clearly enough to establish identity, so no candidate is asserted.
