A procession of women and men in traditional dress walks along a shaded garden path under leafy trees. Several women in saris of cream, teal, turquoise, red and orange carry silver kalasha pots and brass vessels, while others hold tall ceremonial spears and staffs with decorative tips. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand in the foreground, one with his back to the camera. Some participants have their palms pressed together in prayer, and the scene appears to be part of a ritual procession.
