A large outdoor crowd gathers on dusty ground during a procession, with many people in white clothes and yellow shawls raising their arms and hands in celebration. A figure in saffron-orange robes stands near the center, and a woman in white with an orange wrap is visible at right. Behind them stands a long white tented pavilion with a stage area and orange flags on poles. A tall ornate ceremonial staff with golden discs and red and white decorations rises at the upper right. Many people are visible, so the crowd is large.
