A dense crowd of devotees in procession at an outdoor festival. Men in white kurtas and cream-coloured shawls wear orange saffron stoles over their shoulders, and many hold long curved brass horns or ceremonial trumpets raised upward. Several people raise hands in greeting. A decorated white horse with red and gold trappings is visible in the background behind colourful balloons and a decorated ratha-style float with yellow and red fringed canopies. Bright sunlight and dusty ground suggest a daytime street procession.
