A large crowd of devotees walks through a misty outdoor procession lined with banana plants and saffron flags. Most people wear white or saffron-orange clothing, with women in white saris and sarongs, and several have sandalwood or kumkum marks and beaded malas. A man at left with curly dark hair wears a white kurta, and a woman in a teal-green shawl stands near the center. Tall banana leaves and green palms frame the scene, with a vehicle visible in the background. Roughly thirty to forty people are visible, and some are only partially in frame.
