A large crowd of devotees walks down a tree-lined rural road during a procession. Most wear white shirts and dhotis or trousers, with orange and saffron scarves and beaded necklaces. A young woman on the left wears an orange sari and a gold-toned necklace, smiling. Many hold tall orange flags bearing a dark circular emblem and a yellow-bordered fringe. A yellow auto-rickshaw follows among the marchers, and umbrellas and palm trees line the background. This appears to be a padayatra on foot, with participants carrying flags alongside the vehicle.
