Photograph of a festival procession moving across an open dirt courtyard beside a long low building with a green corrugated roof and orange bunting. Two saffron-orange flags on tall poles lead the crowd. Many men in white shirts and dhotis walk in a dense group, several carrying drums and one holding a camcorder. Women in white and cream saris carry brass pots and flower and fruit offerings, while a woman in a pale green sari and a man in an orange robe stand among them. Pink blossoms hang from a tree at upper left. The crowd is large but partly cut off at the edges, so the count is a range.
