Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk along a sandy path; a central figure with a shaved head in orange robes carries a tall gold staff topped with a trident-like finial, and another bearded man in orange wears a gold-beaded mala and orange dhoti. Behind them, people in white kurtas and white shawls with orange borders walk in the procession. A man in a grey kurta with a red scarf in the foreground carries a camera, and a bald-headed figure in white stands among the crowd. Trees and tents fill the background. The festival setting and procession are evident, with multiple people visible in the group.
