Outdoor photograph of a large crowd gathered on dusty open ground for a procession. Many people in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers fill the scene, with some in blue, pink and patterned clothing. Several colourful umbrellas with yellow, red and blue panels stand above the crowd, and a decorated palanquin or ratha with red and gold cloth draped on its frame sits at the left. Men and women stand close together, some with hands folded in devotion, and a few children are visible in the foreground. Low walls, parked white vans, trees and temporary structures appear in the background under a pale sky.
