Outdoor procession on dusty ground in daylight beside a white bus and thatched structures. A central figure in orange saffron robes wears a long white flower garland and a gold-tone necklace, holding a small offering tray; a ceremonial brass-and-gold parasol-like standard with a kalasha-style finial rises at upper right. Orange-robed attendants and a bare-chested man with a flower garland walk alongside, and men in white shirts and dhotis with lanyards line the procession, a few holding staffs and standards.
