A festival procession moves along a paved path in morning haze, with palm trees behind. Many people carry colourful umbrellas on tall poles, in orange, pink, yellow, purple and blue with fringed edges. A central man in a red turban and flower garland walks in a white dhoti, with a garland and a pink cloth over his shoulder. Women in orange and saffron saris walk near him, one carrying a brass tray with lamps. Men in white dhotis and white shirts carry umbrella poles, and a drummer beats a drum on the left. Others walk behind in the crowd.
