Outdoor festival procession in bright daylight. A dense crowd of devotees in white and orange-saffron clothing surrounds a central figure dressed in red robes with a red headband and long dark hair, standing near a raised platform. Two ornate red and multicoloured umbrellas with fringed edges stand above a black speaker box on a bamboo frame strung with bunting. Several men in saffron-orange wraps and white kurtas walk among the people, some raising hands. Ceremonial metal staffs and fans appear among the crowd. Trees and a clear sky sit behind the scene.
