A procession of young women in silk saris walks along a dirt path lined with palm trees. Each woman balances on her head a tall, ornate kalasha-style pot decorated with pink, green and white fabric, flowers and tassels. The women in front press their palms together in anjali. Their saris are yellow, orange, green, maroon and teal with gold borders, and each wears a white pearl necklace. Men in white dhotis and shirts stand along the roadside, some wearing rudraksha malas, and one older man in a white shawl is visible at right. Several other devotees in white clothing stand farther back near small buildings.
