A procession on a dirt road during a festival, with a multicoloured canopy umbrella with fringed tassels held over a central man. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long white flower garland, and has a painted forehead mark; he walks barefoot with a serene expression. Around him, men in saffron and orange shawls and white dhotis carry a brass kalasha-style object and a golden pyramidal vessel, while other men in white shirts and women in saffron and orange saris walk alongside. A water tank and white buildings with festive bunting line the background under a clear sky. Crowd members stand on the right edge.
