A large procession moves along a paved road lined with trees, palms and a low wall. Dozens of devotees in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing rudraksha-style neck cords, walk and run forward, some clapping and raising arms. Among them are several saffron-clad figures and orange flags, with colourful umbrellas and orange banners held aloft. Motorbikes and a yellow vehicle appear on the roadside. A devotee in the foreground wears a white cap and sunglasses. The scene is a pilgrimage march.
