Outdoor procession on a dirt road beside a chain-link fence and a low white wall, with dry scrubland and a few trees behind. Many people in white dhotis and white kurtas, some with orange sashes, crowd together. Several colourful umbrellas with blue, orange and green patterns and tassels are held up, along with tall orange flags. Drummers with large drums are at the left, and a red and gold canopy and balloons are visible in the centre. The people are numerous and mostly partially visible, making the total hard to count precisely.
