A procession on a sandy path outside a white-roofed building. In front, a smiling woman in orange sari with red bindi and gold necklaces walks beside a man in orange robe with gold chain necklaces and a sash, both leading. Behind them, many people in white clothing follow; a young woman in white with orange shawl holds a round orange-and-blue decorated tray, and a boy in white shirt and tan trousers walks near. A man in white holds hands together in greeting at right. Spectators stand under the roof behind, and a decorated ratha or palanquin pole with a flag appears at left.
