A dense outdoor procession of devotees in white dhotis and cloths, many with red and saffron sashes, carrying bright red and orange flags. Several large umbrellas are held overhead: orange, magenta and green, with fringed edges and small silver finials. Two round decorated fans with gold and red borders and central emblems are raised near the top. A man at the upper right in a white dhoti and white shawl holds a long staff with white floral garlands and marigold strands, beside a palanquin-like decorated structure. Women in saris and jewellery walk among the crowd, and a white car stands at the left edge. The scene looks like a temple procession with ritual regalia and flags.
