Outdoor procession at a Hindu festival. A man in an orange saffron robe with a white and gold turban and a white flower garland stands under a large colourful canopy with red, blue, green and yellow panels, gold trim and tassels, held up on wooden poles. Beside him, a bald man in orange robe and rimless glasses and another man in orange with gold beaded necklaces walk in the procession. A golden pillar of the canopy frame is visible. Other devotees in white and orange clothes surround them, and an elderly woman in a grey sari with glasses is at the lower right. The ground is dry and dusty. The visible appearance of the turbaned man in saffron with a flower garland is consistent with the a person candidate cues, but identity is uncertain.
