Outdoor procession on a dirt road in a rural setting with palm trees and a concrete wall behind. Several large ceremonial parasols with colourful panels, gold finials and tasselled fringes are carried overhead. A central figure in saffron/orange robes with a beaded garland walks at the front, flanked by other saffron-robed sannyasis and white-clad devotees, many wearing orange shawls. Men in white dhotis, a drummer and a man with a long pole and bell-like object walk among them, and a woman in white carries a tray of flowers at lower right. Saffron flags are visible in the background. The central figure's presentation shows long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a garland, and is consistent with a person; the page identifies this as a procession to the temple.
