Outdoor procession on a dirt path between a corrugated orange metal fence and banana plants at dusk. Two men in rust-orange dhotis and bare upper bodies with white markings hold a multicoloured fringed ceremonial umbrella and yellow-orange banners on poles. A line of women in rust-orange saris with gold borders and beaded necklaces stands along the path, one holding a brass kalasha pot with green leaves. Men in white dhotis and shirts stand behind and to the right, one elderly man in white at the right edge. A drum player is visible in the background. This appears to be a ritual procession, possibly a welcoming or ratha-style procession, with no clearly identified a person present.
