Outdoor photograph of a procession on a wide dirt road under a clear pale blue sky. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk along the road, one in a light blue shirt and others in white, with a figure at the front swinging or carrying something that emits a puff of smoke. Long rows of spectators in white and in colourful saris stand behind bamboo barriers at the right, many with their hands raised or leaning forward. Banana leaves and tall stalks decorate the roadside. A blue sign on a post reads in Kannada and English about photography, video camera, mobile camera and audio recording being strictly prohibited. Low buildings and hills appear in the distance.
