A dusty unpaved road at sunset, with the low sun glowing behind a line of trees and a fence on the left. A group of about a dozen people in white dhotis and white shirts walk together, several holding tall saffron-orange flags on poles that catch the light. On the right, a yellow-and-red three-wheeled auto-rickshaw with a decorated panel is parked on the road beside a white boundary wall. The scene feels like the start or end of a procession.
