A procession of devotees walks along a sandy-orange stone path flanked by dense green trees, at what appears to be an ancient temple site. Leading the group, a figure in an orange-red dhoti and orange shawl with a red garland and beaded necklaces walks beneath a large orange ceremonial parasol. Behind them, many devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas carry long blue-tipped staffs and wear orange-red headcloths and sashes. Several men in orange robes and a few Cambodian men in khaki and blue work shirts walk alongside. A blue umbrella is visible further back, and the group moves through a crowd of onlookers.
