A procession of people in white clothing walks along a dirt path beside a dry grassy embankment, under a blue sky with scattered clouds. Palm and tall pine-like trees line the route, and a utility pole stands at the right edge. Several people near the front of the line hold ornate umbrellas with red, orange and gold tops, while others carry items in the marching column. The ground is bare earth with scattered stones. Along the right side of the image a faint copyright notice and source line appear, which are not part of the scene.

A photograph of a long procession walking across a dry, freshly turned dirt field under a partly cloudy sky. Many people in white dhotis and white saris walk in a column, with some men in white kurtas and others in plain shirts. Several large colourful umbrellas with orange, red, green and blue panels are carried above the group, and a tall yellow-and-orange ceremonial banner on a pole leads the procession at left. Palm trees and a small tree stand on the horizon, and a long shadow of the photographer falls across the foreground.
