Outdoor procession on dusty ground under a pale sky. Foreground shows a line of people walking: several in saffron and orange robes, others in white dhotis and white shirts, and women in white saris with orange shawls. A decorated multicolored canopy umbrella and an orange-and-red pennant on a pole are carried above the group, with red flags and strings of lights behind. Rows of white-covered seats stand in the background behind a wooden fence. No candidate for a person is clearly identifiable from appearance, so this is a procession of devotees and sannyasis.
