A dense crowd of devotees fills a dusty open ground at a procession, many in white clothing, some with hands pressed together in greeting. A woman in the foreground wears a red bindi and a rudraksha-style bead necklace; a young man with short hair in the front right looks ahead. Behind them a truck with painted decorations and a canopy with orange and white tassels stand at the edge, with banana plants and a fenced field beyond. Partially visible figures in white and orange saffron clothing fill the middle distance, and no clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.
