A large festival procession crowded with devotees on a dusty road under a clear blue sky. Many men and women wear white kurtas and saris with orange sashes and orange scarves, and some wear white T-shirts with colourful circular prints and beaded necklaces. Several white horses with red and gold harness and saddle cloths stand at left. Orange and saffron flags on tall poles rise above the crowd, and decorative multicoloured umbrellas and a large yellow canopy frame the scene. Some people blow long brass horns and a conch-shaped horn, and others raise their hands in celebration. A man in a dark suit stands at lower right, and a banner with a red border is visible among the crowd. A stage with pink and yellow decorations appears in the background.
