A photograph of an outdoor procession on a dirt road lined with trees. Several drummers in white dhotis and white shirts play barrel drums, one with a bare chest and rudraksha-style beaded necklace. A young man in a white shirt and dhoti dances with his arm raised. Behind them a large crowd of mostly young men and women in white and cream traditional clothing, some with yellow and orange borders, walks forward. Many carry orange-red flags with a blue emblem. Dense trees and a red-roofed building fill the background. No individual is identifiable as a person; the scene shows devotees and drummers in a festival procession.
