A procession on a dirt path moves past white tents and brick buildings under a clear sky. Several people carry tall ceremonial parasols with gold fringe and decorative red, blue and yellow emblems. A bearded man in saffron robes and a garland walks near the centre, with other people in orange, white and yellow clothing around him. In the foreground a woman in a green sari with an orange blouse faces away from the camera, and nearby women wear white and pink saris. A large purple bird logo appears in the sky. A small portrait of a person sits on a stand near the tents.

Ahead, a central figure in saffron-orange robes walks beneath a golden-rimmed umbrella and a ceremonial canopy, flanked by orange and yellow ornamented parasols. Devotees in white dhotis and kurtas and white saris with saffron borders walk alongside, many holding flowers, and orange flags on tall poles rise throughout the crowd. A portrait banner is visible at the left edge. The scene suggests a ratha-style procession with umbrellas and flags. The central figure appears to be a person in saffron robes, with appearance cues that are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.2008-12-27December 27 20082008-12-27December 27 20082008-12-27 +1 copiesDecember 27 20082008-12-27A festival procession moves across an open dirt ground in front of white-walled buildings and a white tent.
