A photograph of a procession on a wide dirt road under a clear blue sky. On the left, a long line of women in white and cream saris stands along the roadside, some holding items, with children nearby. On the right, men in white shirts, white dhotis and pale blue trousers walk in file, several with their hands clasped or carrying small objects. Two tall saffron-orange flags on poles rise above the procession, and a small palanquin or float with a framed image appears further ahead. Earthen embankments, strings of red and orange bunting and banana plants line the route, with a hill and white buildings in the background. Long shadows of the walkers fall across the road in the foreground.
