Outdoor photo of a ceremonial procession on dry ground under a clear sky with trees behind. In the foreground, several women in saris walk away from the camera in a line, each balancing a tall decorated pot-and-ornament headpiece topped with red and pink tassels and figurines. Their saris are teal, red, orange and green with gold borders, and their long braids hang down their backs. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a cloth-covered platform in the middle distance, with a white-robed attendant beside him and a parasol-like canopy nearby. Men in dark shirts and trousers and onlookers in white line the path on both sides, and a white vehicle is parked behind the scene.
