A large outdoor crowd of devotees walks along a dusty dirt road in hazy early-morning light during a festival procession. Most people wear white clothing, including white kurtas, shirts and white saris, with some in colourful saris. Orange and red flags and bunting line the route, and a decorated vehicle and ratha-like structure appear in the distance. Banana plants with large leaves frame the right side, and a few volunteers wear lanyards.
