Outdoor road procession on a dry, tree-lined rural road under a pale blue sky. A large crowd of devotees walks along the asphalt, mostly in white clothing, with some women in blue and green saris and a few in orange shawls. At the centre, a decorated float or palanquin with a white canopy draped with pink flowers and a blue panel bearing an Om symbol is carried forward, with colourful striped umbrellas on poles. Two figures in saffron/orange robes sit within the float area; they are too small and distant to confirm any individual's identity. Utility poles and wires run along the roadside, and a white-capped man walks in front of the float.
