Elevated view of a festival procession moving along a dirt path beside a red and pink draped fence, with bare ground, palm trees and a canal behind. Many devotees in white and cream clothes walk together, while women wear saris in green, blue, maroon and pink. Saffron-orange flags on tall poles rise above the crowd, and several colourful decorated umbrellas, in yellow, red, green and blue, shelter a group near the centre. A few figures in orange and saffron robes stand among the procession. The scene suggests a ratha or processional route during a temple festival.
