Women in saris and dresses in red, pink, white and green walk with palms pressed together, and several men in saffron and orange robes and turbans follow. A brass vessel is carried in front, and a man in white dhoti and a dark backpack walks on the right while a cameraman films. Trees and a hill are visible behind.
