Outdoor photograph of a long line of devotees standing along the crest of a reddish-brown earthen embankment under a hazy sky, with tall coconut palms and scrubby trees behind them and a chain-link fence on the left. Most are women in white and cream sarees, some in pink, purple, yellow and multicoloured saris, and a few men in white dhotis and shirts. One figure near the centre wears a saffron-orange robe and stands out in the line. Several participants hold small items in their hands, and a wooden pole with a rope runs along the edge of the slope in the foreground.
