Outdoor photo of a colourful procession on a dirt path beside a red-roofed building and green trees. A woman in an orange-bordered white sari and a man in saffron robes walk through the crowd, a woman in a white sari holds a camera on a tripod, and several people in white and orange clothes walk with them. A long-haired figure in an orange robe with a gold-beaded necklace and a man in a white robe with a red stole, both with pink-stained faces and hair, lead the group. Children in striped shirts and checked shirts stand near the front, some with coloured powder on their faces and hands. A cluster of devotees follow behind with a bird flying overhead.
