A procession of devotees walks along a paved road at an outdoor event, under a grey overcast sky with green hills behind. Many people wear white clothing with red shawls draped over their shoulders, and some carry long staffs. Two large ceremonial parasols with red, yellow, green and purple panels and tasselled fringes are held aloft, and a bright red flag with a yellow emblem flies in the foreground. A woman in the lower foreground wears a red bindi and a dark top. Among the marchers, a bald figure in white is visible, but no one can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no identity is asserted.
