Outdoor festival procession on a dusty ground under a clear blue sky. Crowds of people in predominantly white clothing move through the scene; a bald man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands center with glasses, and a woman in a white sari with a red-brown handbag walks nearby. Tall saffron-orange flags on poles, plus a few blue and green flags, line the route. An arched banner with red and gold trim, reading Nithyananda, stretches overhead beside umbrella-like decorations in red and gold. Strings of small lights hang overhead. Men on the right wear white kurtas and some hold drums; a uniformed attendant in red and gold stands at the right edge. Tents and white canopies line the left side.
