A festival procession outdoors beneath large shade trees with a bright blue sky. Several saffron-robed sannyasis and monks sit or stand in a group at centre, many with shaved heads, one in a saffron shawl gesturing with an outstretched arm. Ornate multicoloured parasols with embroidered panels and tassels are held aloft above them. In the foreground, rows of schoolgirls in white blouses and navy skirts wear blue hair ribbons, with a crowd of onlookers behind them, including khaki-uniformed police or officials and men in white. Bunting strings hang between the trees, and a building with signboards stands at right.
