A long procession of people dressed in white walks along a dirt road lined with young banana plants and orange-saffron pennant flags strung on cords. Many marchers wear white kurta and dhoti or white saris, while a few in saffron carry bags. A pink canopy-style banner stands at the left edge beside the road, and an embankment of red earth runs along the right side. Palm and tall trees fill the hazy background under a pale sky. The scene matches a ritual procession during the year-end Brahmotsavam celebrations.
