A procession of men walks along a tree-lined paved road. Many wear white shirts and white dhotis with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and several wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Several carry colourful striped parasols and square banners with a blue emblem, and a tall orange flag rises above the group. A few men near the front run and smile, one holds a drum, and a truck and vehicles are visible on the left. The procession appears to be a ceremonial walk through an Indian village road.
