Outdoor procession on a dusty open ground under a hazy sky. Many devotees in saffron-orange robes walk along a paved path, some bare-chested men in white dhoti-style cloth and rudraksha malas carry a decorated palanquin topped with a colourful garland. A large ornate umbrella with multicoloured fringe is held aloft, and a drummer in orange at left beats a frame drum. Women in orange saris and a woman with a basket of flowers walk among them, with red-roofed buildings and trees behind. Many people are visible, with the crowd extending to the frame edges.
