A procession on a dirt road during the Brahmotsava celebration. Devotees in white clothes walk alongside a teal and yellow auto-rickshaw.

Men and women in white dress and a few in orange and yellow saris move in the crowd, and a small boy in a striped shirt walks in front. The scene conveys a ritual flag-carrying procession, with no clearly identifiable main figure.
