A photograph of a dusty open ground in bright sunshine, with a line of young women and girls in colourful saris and salwar walking in the same direction. Several carry small brass or clay pots and a kalasha-like vessel on their heads or in hand, and some wear flowers in their hair and bangles. Bright saffron-yellow, magenta, teal, green and maroon garments stand out against the sand, with long shadows cast across the ground. The scene suggests a temple-related procession, though no deity or main figure is visible. No a person candidate is visible in this frame.
