Outdoor procession on a dirt path beside a long white building with a green-and-red tiled roof, palm trees and a blue sky behind. Drummers lead: a man in white dhoti and shirt carries a large barrel drum slung at his side, another drummer in a grey shirt and white dhoti beats a pink-wrapped drum, and a young boy plays a drum at the left edge. Several devotees in white dhotis and shirts walk with them, some holding ornate colourful ceremonial umbrellas and banners decorated with emblems. Women in white and yellow saris walk in the group, and robed sannyasis in saffron/orange clothing with orange garlands march in the middle. Behind them a decorated palanquin or chariot with orange-draped figures and a canopy is visible under trees.
