Outdoor procession moving through a palm and banana grove under a bright sky. Orange and saffron flags on tall poles and a white canopy with orange fringe lead the crowd. Many devotees in white clothes and some in orange garments walk closely together, several with orange shawls and folded or raised hands. A few women wear white saris and one wears a red top. The crowd is dense and fills the path, with more onlookers and young men in white shirts behind. Colourful striped ceremonial umbrellas and decorated pennants rise above the heads.
