A large crowd walks along a dirt road in a procession, most people in white clothes with orange shawls or sashes. Many women and men carry brass pots, kalasha-style vessels, on their heads or in their hands. A white banner with orange flags is carried at the upper right, and colourful domed ratha or palanquin canopies appear beyond it. A wire fence and dry field with trees lie to the left. The scene is an outdoor ritual procession; no a person is clearly visible among the marchers.
