A large outdoor procession crowd in bright daylight moves along a dusty road lined with orange flags and ornate parasols. Many devotees in white shirts and white dhotis, and women in blue, orange and maroon saris, press their palms together in folded-hand greetings. A truck with a name partly visible on its side carries speakers, and orange ceremonial flags with blue emblems rise above the throng. A man in front wears a white shirt with a lanyard, and a figure in orange robes stands near the left parasol. The image shows the procession as a whole, with no identifiable central figure clearly visible.
