Outdoor festival procession at a KAILASA event. A crowd of men in white dhotis and white shirts, some wearing white t-shirts with colourful circular prints, presses together under trees. A man in the centre raises his arm, and another in an orange cap stands nearby. A large umbrella with multicoloured panels and tassels is held aloft, and a red banner with yellow lettering and pennant flags is raised above the crowd. Balloons in blue, red, yellow and green are visible on the left and right, and rudraksha malas hang on several chests.
