A photo of a procession on an open courtyard with many people in white and orange-saffron clothing. Men in white dhotis and shirts and women in orange saris play curved brass horns (long-necked ceremonial horns) and hand drums (dhol-style and frame drums), while others in white walk and watch. Saffron-orange and red umbrella-style canopies or banners are visible above the crowd at the top right, and a row of seated people in white lines the background. Palm trees and a shaded pavilion frame the scene, and a small wooden donation or offering box stands near the right edge.
