A large crowd of devotees walks along a dirt path in misty early-morning light during a procession. Most wear white dhotis, saris and kurtas, with lanyards around their necks. Several people in saffron-orange cloth and a few in red or blue lead the group, and orange flags on poles rise above the heads. Flower-decorated garlands and a decorated float or ratha frame stand near the center. Along the right, a concrete wall lined with green leafy decoration runs beside the path. A bearded elder in white in the lower right holds his hands together in greeting.
