A large outdoor procession moves along a dirt road on a sunny day. Ornate parasols in red, yellow, green and blue with a white dove emblem lead the crowd, and orange flags are raised among them. Many devotees wear white kurtas with yellow shawls, while some in orange and saffron robes walk near drummers playing hand drums. A few people carry umbrellas and flags, and the group fills the frame, with a dry, tree-lined landscape behind.
