A procession on an unpaved dirt road beside palm trees and a red-walled building. Men in white dhotis and shirts carry gold tridents and a ceremonial sword, and a bare-chested young man in white holds a sword. Several figures in saffron-orange robes walk in the middle, and a decorated palanquin or ratha with a multicoloured canopy and an orange parasol is carried forward. Women in white saris stand at the left edge. A yellow-orange banner at right shows a printed portrait of a robed figure, but no person is clearly visible under the photo's uncertain identity, so the a person field is unsure.
