A festival procession moves along a dirt road lined with palm trees and a low wall. At left, a large multicolored canopy with a trident and bird motifs is held aloft on a pole. Behind it, a decorated float or chariot covered in flowers and an orange canopy is pulled forward. Many devotees walk in the procession: men in white kurtas and dhotis, women in white sarees with gold borders, several in orange or saffron robes, and some wearing rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. A few people in the foreground fold their hands in greeting. Vehicles and speakers appear in the background.
