A large crowd of devotees stands outdoors in a sunlit field during a procession, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Most wear white shirts, white dhotis and white saris or salwar, with a few in striped or coloured shirts. Banana leaves hang overhead and a bamboo barrier with orange and red flower decorations separates the crowd from the path. A man in white in the foreground faces away, and a few people stand on a fence in the background raising hands in greeting. Palm trees and low buildings appear in the distance under a hazy sky. The page excerpt mentions a procession, but no one in the crowd can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.
