A photograph of an outdoor procession along a dirt path lined with banana plants. A large red and multicoloured parasol with a blue bird emblem leads the way, and two ornate ceremonial palanquin-style canopies with yellow fringes and red embroidered panels follow. Devotees in white ritual clothes, many with folded hands in namaskar, walk on both sides; some wear rudraksha malas. Drummers in white and yellow-orange cloth beat drums in the foreground, and a figure in an orange garment is seated at the lower right. Tents, parked cars and a few trees are visible in the background under a pale sky.
