A procession on a dirt road in front of a grey block wall with palm fronds behind it. Many devotees wear white kurtas and wooden rudraksha-style beaded garlands, while some wear orange cloth. Several people raise large saffron-orange flags bearing a blue crescent-and-circle emblem. On the right, a decorated ratha with a multicoloured arched canopy, pink and green draping, and a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure with white garlands is partly visible. A bald man in a white robe with a rudraksha mala walks near the front, a woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl walks beside him, and a bearded man in white stands among the marchers. Smoke drifts across the upper middle of the frame.
