A large outdoor procession moves along a wide dirt road under a bright sky. Many devotees in white dhotis and white shirts or kurtas walk in dense rows, some wearing white caps. Several people in red and gold turbans or headwear stand among them, and a man in a teal shirt carries a drum-like instrument. Orange saffron flags on tall poles rise above the crowd, and a blue-and-white striped tent canopy with garlands stands along the left side. Roadside signboards and parked cars line the background. Devotees on the right wear orange and white clothing, and a person in a plain white shirt stands closest to the camera. The scene suggests a ceremonial walk of devotees.
