A procession on a pale dirt road lined with trees and a red brick wall, with a small canopied palanquin visible in the background. In the foreground, two shaved-headed men in saffron and orange robes walk forward. The man at front wears rudraksha malas across his chest, beaded bracelets and a sacred white marking on his forehead and arms, and holds his hands together. The man beside him wears a saffron robe with a red-striped cloth at the waist and a long mala. Behind them, a line of devotees in orange and maroon robes, several women among them, follow along the path. Sunlight and palm-shaped shadows fall across the road.
