A festive outdoor procession with many people in red and white ritual clothing. A man in a white dhoti and red shawl carries a seated figure on his shoulders; the seated figure wears a red turban, red robe, and a long rudraksha mala, and holds his hands in a gesture. Around them, people carry tall red and saffron flags and a red-and-gold umbrella is raised overhead. Nearby, a woman in a white sari with a red border holds a flag and smiles, another woman wears sunglasses and a white sari, and men in white dhotis and red shawls walk alongside. Several people wear gold necklaces and bangles. Banners and tents line the background under bright daylight.
