A photograph, rotated sideways, of a procession outdoors on dusty ground under a bright blue sky. Several men in white dhotis and white kurtas with orange shawls walk or stand in a line, one with dark curly hair in the foreground, another behind holding a long pole. Behind them, red and orange ceremonial parasols with fringed edges and colourful tassels are raised. Some men hold brass or wooden poles, and a few hands are visible at the lower edge. No person in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance, so the identity is left unsure.
