A photograph of a festival procession outdoors under bright sky. Many men in white dhotis and white kurtas, several wearing orange shawls, march along a dirt path, with a drummer in white and yellow-trimmed clothes beating a drum. Large orange flags stream overhead and colourful fringed parasols with embroidered panels are carried on poles. A man in a white robe and orange shawl walks barefoot in the foreground, and women in pink and purple saris, along with bystanders, line the route beyond. Trees and a low yellow building appear in the background.
