Outdoor festival procession on dusty ground in front of a long white building with green corrugated roof. Dozens of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, many women in white saris with orange borders, crowd around a central area. Colourful umbrellas (pink, blue and yellow with patterned panels) and tall orange flags are held aloft; orange and yellow canopies hang overhead. Some people play instruments, and small balloons and strings of fairy lights decorate the area. A signboard reads 'Way to the temple' at the right edge. Several participants wear white T-shirts with printed logos.
