A procession on a dusty open ground with trees and a sunny haze behind. In the foreground, a line of young drummers in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps, with rudraksha malas around their necks, walks forward playing silver-rimmed drums with sticks. One drummer wears an orange turban. Behind them, devotees in white and pink saris and other people walk along the path, and to the right, a group in red and yellow clothing also plays drums. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this frame.

A procession of drummers in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, many wearing rudraksha malas and wrist bands, plays large white-faced drums and cymbals on a sandy path beside a red carpet. A young drummer in front wears an orange shawl, a white sash and a mala, with white tilak marks on his forehead, while others in the group carry drums slung at the waist. A row of colourful ceremonial umbrellas in red, green and yellow stands behind them, and a rangoli of red, yellow and white flower petals lies on the ground. Scaffolded stone pillars and a half-built temple hall with a tiled roof frame the background, with palm trees beyond.

A procession of young men in saffron-orange dhotis, shawls and orange turbans, many wearing rudraksha malas and bangles, walks along a paved courtyard beside green trees.
