Outdoor procession on a dirt road in the early morning haze, with a hilltop structure and trees behind. Young women in green and purple saris and dance-style costumes walk at the left, carrying decorated floral ornaments and garlands. Several ornate parasols in red, yellow and blue fabric are carried by young men in black shirts and trousers. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts and a few in orange robes walk in a long line, one with a garland of orange and white flowers. A white-fringed palanquin-style canopy stands in the middle of the procession. Several dozen people are visible, along with a parked car at the back, marking a Jayanti Brahmotsavam procession.
