A festival procession at an outdoor ground in Bidadi. Dense crowds of devotees, mostly in white and red clothing, surround orange and saffron flags bearing a blue emblem. Several figures in red and gold-trimmed garments play drums and lead the group, while colourful striped umbrellas and a large kalasha-style fringed banner are carried above. A man in orange robes with a garland and long hair stands near the centre, with a white-clad attendant beside him. Green banana and palm leaves frame the foreground, and a chain-link fence and dry land lie behind the crowd.
