Outdoor photo of a crowd on a paved road during a procession. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a saffron stole stands centre-right, gesturing with one hand toward a woman in a blue-and-white patterned sari who kneels on the road in front of him. A devotee in a dark navy shirt bends forward beside her. Many participants wear white kurtas or white clothes with orange stoles, and a few wear orange or yellow saris. A man in white holds a yellow placard and a long wooden pole. Some onlookers stand at the edges, and a woman in a yellow-orange sari is in the foreground. The scene shows a ratha yatra-style walk with devotees gathered around the saffron-robed figure, who has short hair and an unadorned robe.
