A dense outdoor procession on a dirt road under strings of white and orange pennants and palm trees. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban wears a long white flower garland and rudraksha beads, walking under a red umbrella held overhead. Around him, many men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, raise hands and wave. A monk in orange robes walks beside him, and a red-brick wall with orange flags appears at the right. The scene reads as a festival-day procession with a crowd of devotees.
