Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with trees and green shrubs under palm trees. A silver SUV carries large black speaker cabinets on its roof, with a man standing on top. Behind it, a crowd of devotees walks in white dhotis and white kurtas, with children in yellow and red clothing and some wearing garlands. Many people carry saffron and orange flags. In the centre, a man with a shaved head, wearing a white upper cloth and an orange-bordered dhoti, walks ahead of a decorated ratha with red, yellow and orange banners and an umbrella-like canopy. A woman in a pink and gold sari stands at the lower left. The scene reads as a ceremonial procession.
