A large outdoor procession moves along a palm-lined road under many decorative parasols in green, pink, yellow, orange and blue with embroidered borders and beaded fringes. Dozens of devotees crowd around a white car in the centre, with men bare-chested or in saffron and orange dhotis wearing rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces. Drummers in the foreground play large drums, and men in white shirts and dhotis walk alongside. A figure in the centre-left wears an orange cloth and shaved head, but his appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so no identification is made. Trees and a red-roofed structure appear in the background.
