A large outdoor procession moves along a dusty dirt road under a clear blue sky, with trees behind. Many devotees in white kurtas and saffron/orange shawls walk in the crowd. Ornate red and orange umbrellas with tasselled fringes, decorated with blue bird emblems, rise above the procession, and orange flags with a black emblem flutter overhead. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style bead mala and a drum slung at his side walks beside a man in white holding a bundle of green palm fronds. A girl in red and gold traditional dress with a gold crown and a bow-like ceremonial staff walks nearby, and a woman in a red sari with gold jewellery is among the group. Two young men in white carry an umbrella on the right. Many more people are visible further back, so the crowd is in the 21-100 range.
