A photograph of a dusty roadside procession in Haridwar, with many people walking along a dirt road lined with tents, tarps and low buildings. Most walkers wear saffron-orange clothing and carry backpacks, and some carry decorated poles with colourful pink, green and orange banners and bundles. On the left, a red-and-white tent area with seated people and red plastic chairs. Tall electricity poles and wires cross overhead. Two large vertical posters on poles show a smiling person in a saffron turban and saffron garment, with a printed name on the poster. Trees and green fields surround the scene.
