A crowded outdoor procession photographed at close range. In the foreground a young man with a shaved head and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead wears a white kurta over an orange-saffron cloth and a rudraksha-style mala, holding a folded white cloth bundle in both hands. Behind him, people in white and blue clothes press forward, some raising a long dark wooden pole or carrying staff. Tall orange-saffron flags flutter overhead, with decorated ceremonial umbrellas in red, green and gold visible at the back. Ornate silver-toned staffs with finials stand at right against a dry open field under a clear blue sky.
