A dense outdoor procession at a festival, with a large crowd of devotees pressing forward under bright sunlight. Ornate orange and gold parasol-like canopies with teardrop shapes, blue and red floral emblems, and fringed edges are carried aloft on poles. Tall saffron-orange flags wave above the crowd. Many men in white shirts and dhotis raise their hands and wave, while women in white saris and others in colourful outfits stand among them. A few figures in orange and gold garments wearing garlands and beaded necklaces walk near the front of the procession. Banana leaves and palm trees frame the scene, and a stage truck with a banner is visible in the background.
