A large outdoor procession moves through a dusty site under hazy daylight, with a dense crowd of many hundreds of people. Orange and saffron flags with blue circular emblems are held aloft on tall poles at the left and centre. Under multicoloured parasols at the left, several people in saffron and orange robes with beaded necklaces walk among devotees. Most of the crowd wears white dhotis and white saris, with some in red, plaid and blue. Many people press forward with hands folded or carrying small items, and a woman at lower right in a white sari with a red border walks beside a palanquin-style carried object. A white structure with a spire stands in the background beside a water tank.
