A line of about fifteen devotees walks barefoot across a dirt ground in the late light, carrying orange-and-gold kalasha-style pots and offerings. Most wear white dhotis, mundus and sarees with gold borders; a man in a maroon shirt and white dhoti stands near the centre, and a woman in a green saree walks at the right edge. Behind them stands a terracotta-coloured building with a green roof and a small pylon. A procession of devotees carrying pots fits the scene; a visible a person candidate is not clearly identifiable here.
