A photograph of a festival procession on a dusty red-earth ground in bright sunlight. Two performers in red and gold costumes with large white feathered headdresses and yellow marigold garlands dance forward, one holding a small hand drum. A white-clad drummer in a white cap and sash plays a large barrel drum in the foreground. Behind them, a decorated palanquin draped with marigold garlands and a red cloth canopy is carried through the crowd. Orange and red flags flutter on tall poles, and devotees in white, yellow and blue clothing line the path. Long shadows fall across the ground.
