A crowded outdoor procession on a dusty road under a pale blue sky. Two men sit atop a decorated vehicle draped with orange and marigold garlands, shaded by ornate umbrellas. One seated figure wears a white robe with a bearded face and long hair, and a second man in white sits nearby. Around them, pilgrims and devotees walk closely together: a man in a grey T-shirt in the foreground, a woman in a black shawl with pink-rimmed glasses, a man in a blue and pink shawl, a man in a red kurta, and a bearded man in a dark jacket with a white scarf. A young man in a green kurta holds a microphone near the vehicle. Other pilgrims and tents appear in the background, and a small saffron-and-green flag is attached to the garland-decorated vehicle.
