Outdoor procession on a dirt road under a clear blue sky, with a row of colourful umbrellas (ornate multicoloured canopies with tassels and gold finials) carried over saffron-robed sannyasis. A bearded sannyasi in orange robes and an orange turban walks at the centre, flanked by men in white dhotis and orange shawls carrying gold-topped staffs and a trident. Another orange-robed figure with a rudraksha mala stands near the front, and a devotee prostrates on the ground in the foreground. Crowd members in white kurtas and dhotis line the procession, and a pink umbrella appears at left. Tree branches and a few roadside structures complete the scene.
