Outdoor procession on a dirt path beside a tall red-earth wall, with palm trees and leafy trees behind. Many people in white dhotis and white saris walk forward, several carrying decorated ceremonial umbrellas and a kalasha-style banner, plus a trishul-topped standard. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and a bare-chested man with a white cloth over his shoulder walk near a musician holding a long brass wind instrument. A man in a green shirt and a woman in white stand among the marchers. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible, so the a person field is none.
