Outdoor scene on a dirt ground beneath tall coconut palms in front of a low white building with a corrugated roof and red doors. Many people in white clothing walk in a loose procession. The front men wear white shirts, white dhotis or trousers, and rudraksha malas, and some carry round flat brass or wooden plates. Others in white shirts and dhotis walk behind, and a few women in white saris are visible among them. A man on the right wears white and a mala and walks barefoot. The mood is orderly and communal.
