A dirt road procession moves through a rural area with palm trees under a clear hazy sky. Many people walk in white and saffron clothing; several in front carry tall orange flags with a dark blue circular emblem. Two drummers in the foreground play drums, one in a red-checked shirt and one in a white shirt with an orange waist cloth. Behind them a yellow-and-black truck with a load of straw or fodder and a sign reading Mahalakshmi follows, with a man standing on top. Palms and a few buildings lie in the background.
