Outdoor procession on a dusty road under a clear blue sky during a temple festival. Several large colourful umbrellas with red, green, yellow and blue panels and tasselled fringes are carried over a crowd of people. Robed sannyasis in saffron orange cloth with rudraksha malas walk at the front, some holding flower garlands and brass objects. Men in white shirts and white dhotis with gold borders and women in white saris and yellow salwar move through the crowd, and tall orange flags rise at right beside a small stone structure and palm trees. A deity murti is carried under the umbrellas. No individual can be identified with confidence from the visible cues alone.
