A road procession seen from behind on a paved two-lane road lined with dry scrub and flowering shrubs. Several devotees walk in the same direction: an older man in white dhoti and shirt carries a white cloth bag and a saffron flag, and other men wear white shirts with printed logos over orange or saffron lungis. Two women in orange and yellow saffron-toned saris walk at right. At the right edge, part of a decorated golden chariot with garlands hangs and a saffron cloth is visible. A roadside kilometre marker shows the number 59 with a small plate reading 7. A truck with a banner and orange flags is visible further up the road.
