A photograph of a walking procession on a paved rural road lined with trees and dry red earth. Dozens of men in white dhotis and white shirts with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces walk forward, many carrying saffron-orange flags on tall poles. A drummer in white beats a drum at center, and a man in front with white hair and a beard raises his hand in greeting. Several multicoloured umbrellas are held overhead, and a white van with a portrait on its rear and orange-bannered flags follows the crowd. Yellow banners with blue-and-red emblems stand at the edges. Bright daylight, leafy trees and a utility pole frame the scene.
