A dense outdoor procession seen from behind, with a large crowd of devotees dressed mostly in white shirts, white dhotis and white sarees moving forward together. Many people have long black hair, some with flowers pinned in it, and some wear dark beaded necklaces. Saffron-orange flags on tall poles rise above the crowd, and a decorated golden ratha or palanquin with colourful ornaments is visible at the top of the frame. Green banana leaves and palm trees line the route, and a blue signboard with printed text stands on the left. A man in the foreground holds his hands together in a gesture of reverence.
