Outdoor procession on a dirt yard in front of a pink-walled building with corrugated roof and palm trees. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts hold decorated ceremonial umbrellas with embroidered red, yellow and orange panels and tassels, and one holds a long staff. A woman in a white sari with an orange border carries a silver vessel with green leaves on her head, as in a purna kumbha offering. On the right, a figure in a saffron-orange robe and orange head wrap stands apart from the group, appearing to be a sannyasi or devotee rather than a clearly identifiable individual.
