A procession of devotees walks along a dirt path through a palm grove at an outdoor ritual site. In front, a drummer in a white dhoti and an orange-clad drummer play a pair of drums. A line of men follows, most in white dhotis and white shirts, several with orange saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. At the centre, a long-haired figure in an orange-saffron robe with a white flower garland around the neck leads the group, carrying a small object. Wooden poles with orange flags mark the path, and a bamboo pole runs across the foreground. Behind them, pink and yellow draped cloth decorates a structure, and a yellow earth-moving vehicle is visible at left beside stacked concrete blocks.
