Outdoor photograph of a dense crowd moving through a dirt courtyard during a procession. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while others wear black shirts. Near the centre, a large arch of rainbow-coloured flowers and garlands frames a palanquin-like float. On the right, several men in saffron and orange robes and orange shawls walk together, and one older man with white hair and an orange garment stands out. A single-storey pink building with a tin roof and palm trees stands behind the crowd. The crowd is so large that most individuals are partially hidden, and many more people are visible at the frame edges.
