Outdoor procession on a dirt road with a large crowd, mostly men and women in white ritual clothes walking past low buildings and palm trees under a hazy sky. Many carry or follow orange-red flags on tall poles, and several ornate decorated umbrella-like canopies with embroidered panels and tassels are raised above the walkers. A red and white fringed banner stretches across the background, and a parked white bus with a blue tarpaulin stands at right. Some women wear saffron and white saris, and a drummer with a drum is visible at left. No clearly identifiable person is in a central position of honour, so no a person candidate is established.
