Outdoor festival procession on a dry open ground with multicoloured ceremonial umbrellas on tall poles. Many people crowd together, many in white traditional clothes and white dhotis or kurtas, some in blue polo shirts, others in white tops with orange shawls. A woman in the foreground wears a white sari with an orange shawl and smiles while raising her arm, and a green balloon floats near her. Saffron flags rise above the crowd. Beige multi-storey buildings and trees stand in the background under a clear blue sky. Drummers in white stand among the crowd. A man in a dark suit stands in the centre near the umbrellas, but his face and presentation are too uncertain to identify him.
