Outdoor procession on a dirt road lined with palm trees during a festival with coloured powder. A man in an orange robe with a long swept-back hairstyle and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces walks at the centre under a multicoloured ceremonial parasol, a person by visible cues; he is in the procession and the image is a photograph. Behind him a white and silver float carries a deity murti with a figure in orange. Devotees in pink, white and green-stained clothing with faces and clothes dusted with colour walk along, including children and women in saris. A cameraman in white and yellow stands at right. A red-and-white banner for LBT Life Bliss Technology and a blue sign for video and mobile cameras are visible at left.
