A photograph of a group walking in procession along a narrow paved road lined with green trees and grass, under an overcast sky with utility poles and wires overhead. Around a dozen people in saffron and orange robes lead the way, several carrying tall ceremonial banners and umbrella-style standards in red, orange and blue. Some walkers wear white garments beneath orange cloth, and a few women in orange and dark clothing follow at the back. The procession appears to be a yatra, with participants moving together on foot.
