A photograph of a procession on a dirt road between young trees and a concrete boundary wall. Several dozen people walk toward the camera, many in white dhotis and shirts, others in saffron-orange garments. Drummers in the foreground play large two-headed drums, one in a patterned shirt and yellow dhoti, others in white. Behind them, people carry a tall ornate umbrella-style canopy with colourful fringed panels, along with orange and red flags on poles. Green foliage and a grey sky with clouds frame the scene.
