A large crowd of devotees walks barefoot along a dusty red dirt path under a heavy overcast sky at dusk, in what appears to be an outdoor procession. Most men wear white shirts or kurtas with white dhotis, and many wear orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders; women wear white and orange saris and orange shawls. A few people in the foreground carry white cloth or items, and a small string of orange lights and a flagpole with a flag are visible in the background among trees. No single person stands out as a clearly identifiable central figure in the frame.
