A procession of many saffron-robed devotees walks along a dusty dirt road on a clear day. Most wear orange dhotis and shawls with red borders, rudraksha malas, and white or yellow forehead markings; many are shaved-headed. Two tall ceremonial standards with yellow fringed red-and-gold banners lead the group, and a trident is held aloft at the right. A woman in the center wears an orange sari, a mala and a garland and holds a staff, with children walking beside her. Dry scrub and trees frame the background.
