A dense outdoor procession crowded along a dusty road under trees, with many people in white dhotis and white saris. Bare-chested men wear red sashes and women in orange and red saris walk among them. Large umbrellas in magenta, red and orange with decorative fringe and round gold-and-red ornaments are held aloft. Red flags on poles are carried through the crowd, and tasselled red, orange, blue and green fabric hangs at the right edge. On the left, spectators stand on a white wall, and a woman in a red sari with a dark braid walks at the lower centre. Several printed portraits and posters are pasted on the wall at left. A child in white is held up in the centre of the procession.
