A photograph of a procession moving under a large white tent with scalloped fabric trim, on a dusty ground with trees and a white wall behind. Several participants in white dhotis and kurtas carry tall ornate umbrellas with orange, red and yellow embroidered panels and tassels. A woman in a red and orange sari at the front waves a white fan of fluffy material, and a young man in a white shirt and black trousers walks in the middle. Others wear cream and white traditional attire, with orange and red sashes and beaded necklaces. A few people in orange and saffron clothing are visible among the marchers. No identifiable face-based candidate is confirmed here, so a person is unsure.
