A photograph of a crowded outdoor procession with many devotees pressing around a palanquin carried on dark wooden poles. Several men in white shirts and saffron-orange shawls or sashes grip the poles; one man in the foreground wears wristbands and a dark jacket over white clothing. A central figure with long dark hair and a red forehead mark sits in a white cloth draped over the palanquin, with a white dhoti-like cloth and gold border visible. Behind them, numerous saffron flags flutter, along with decorated parasols in red, green and yellow and a metal staff topped with a bird-shaped finial. Dusty ground, a white tent structure and trees form the background under a clear blue sky.
