A dusty open ground in hazy early-morning or late-afternoon light, with long shadows stretching across the earth. A large crowd of people dressed in white walks in a procession, many carrying tall orange-red flags on poles. Some devotees wear white kurtas and dhotis, and a few men in darker clothing walk along the left side. Behind the marchers are decorated palanquin-style canopies and ornate umbrellas in orange and yellow, with a red banner strung between poles. Bare trees, a low wall and utility poles frame the background.
