A large procession of men in white dhotis and white shirts walks along a paved road lined with tall cypress-like trees and palms. Several walkers carry saffron-orange flags, and a young man in the foreground holds an orange banner with a round emblem on a pole. Behind them, a row of orange-and-red umbrellas and vehicles follows, and a red-and-yellow painted wall runs along the roadside. Some marchers wear rudraksha malas and a woman in blue walks among them. The scene suggests a devotional foot pilgrimage on a sunny day.
