A procession of devotees walks along a paved road lined with yellow barriers and a wooden fence, with green hills and a partly built temple complex in the background. Robed men and women in white dhotis and saris wear red shawls and orange sashes, some with garlands. Several carry red and orange ceremonial umbrellas, a blue flag on a pole, and a golden tray or pot. A bare-chested older man at left walks barefoot. The scene resembles a ritual yatra, with a Hindu religious procession moving forward together.
