A procession crosses a rocky, unpaved site of broken stones and reddish earth. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe and orange shawl walks forward under a colourful patterned parasol, with a rudraksha-style garland visible; a man in white ritual clothing beside him also holds a parasol. Several people in white dhotis and orange scarves follow, some carrying similar multicoloured umbrellas. Utility poles, a small concrete wall and trees stand behind them under a pale sky.
