A festival procession on a paved path lined with palm trees, with a large crowd of devotees on both sides. In the foreground, a man in a rust-orange turban and a pink-and-white flower garland, with long dark hair and gold armbands, holds a tall silver staff with carved patterns. Beside him, a bare-chested man in orange dhoti stands among others. Many devotees wear orange, red and white clothing. Above the crowd, a row of ornate umbrellas in yellow, blue, orange and green sweeps across the scene. Some people raise their hands; a loudspeaker stands behind the line. The figure at the centre has distinctive turban and garland cues, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
