A procession on a dusty road beside a large bridge and makeshift tented camp at a riverside festival site. A figure seated on a red-draped elephant wears white and holds a ceremonial object, while the crowd of white-clad devotees and saffron-robed participants walks behind. Many carry saffron/orange flags on poles, and decorated umbrellas and tall ornate banners with a bird motif rise above them. Foreground women wear white saris with red shawls and hold phones or bags.
