Outdoor procession on a dusty dirt road under a clear blue sky. Many young men in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing orange or saffron sashes, carry long horns and wind instruments, with one player blowing a long brass trumpet. Orange and red flags on poles and ornately decorated umbrellas in blue, yellow and green fly above the crowd. A man in the foreground wears a gold necklace over an orange shawl and has a tilak on his forehead, and other men wear rudraksha malas. Bystanders stand at the edge of the open ground near tents and a palm-lined background.
