A street procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a paved road past blue tarpaulin stalls and a grey building. In front, a bald man in orange shawl and white-and-orange sash walks beside a donkey loaded with a cloth pack. The central figure wears a reddish-maroon robe with a golden waistband, an orange knit cap and a rudraksha-style necklace, hands folded at his waist. Behind him, a line of orange-clad devotees carries long silver-tipped staffs and a bundle, and a woman in orange follows. Litter lies on the road. Nearby signage in Hindi on a stall reads partly as a temple name. The scene is outdoors in daylight.
