A photograph taken through a doorway of a procession outdoors on dirt ground under bright daylight with trees behind. A man in white clothing and a shawl carries a large metal vessel with a palm-frond decoration on his shoulder in the foreground. Behind him, a man in orange robes and a brown cap walks beside a woman in orange sari-style robes with long dark hair, while attendants in white carry ornate umbrellas with red and white fringe. Other attendants in white and orange follow. No identity can be confirmed from appearance, so the central robed figure is described by role only.
