A long procession of people walks down a paved road lined with yellow metal barriers, with green hills and a rocky mesa behind. Many participants wear white dhotis and shawls with red sashes and rudraksha-style neck garlands; some carry tall red flags and decorated saffron-and-white umbrellas, and others carry brass kalasha-like pots and small drums. On the right, spectators stand along the roadside. Near the front-left, a figure in a pink-red garment with a red headwrap and beaded necklaces walks under a multicoloured parasol, while a shaved-headed participant in white holds a long pole. The scene reads as a ritual procession or yatra with flags, umbrellas and ceremonial attire.
