Evening procession moving along a dusty road past a red and cream boundary wall, with a crowd of onlookers behind it. Devotees in white dhotis and white saris with red-and-maroon shawls carry long poles with red and maroon flags and a large ornate yellow-and-red ceremonial umbrella with a decorative emblem. Men in white lead the front; women in white saris with red borders walk in rows, some carrying small brass items. Monks in saffron robes stand on a raised platform behind the wall, and marigold petals are scattered on the ground. A blue tractor and a ferris-style structure appear at the right edge. No individual is identifiable as a person in this view.
