Outdoor procession under a striped canopy supported by bamboo poles, with a red-and-black umbrella overhead. A man in an orange robe with a white flower garland walks forward, smiling and gesturing, followed by people in white dhotis with orange shawls. A woman in a brown sari carries a woven basket of flowers and fruit, and a man in orange robes walks behind. A red carpet covers the ground under the canopy, with parked white vans and a brick building in the background and a crowd gathered at the edge.
