A procession of devotees walks along a dirt path past a white-walled building. Many people carry tall poles topped with bright orange flags bearing a blue heart-shaped emblem, and several carry ornate gold-trimmed decorative banners with a blue bird motif. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while many women wear white or cream saris with yellow or gold borders and saffron shawls. A middle-aged man in a white shirt and dhoti with a rudraksha-style mala walks at the centre of the group. Children in white clothes and a boy in a red striped shirt are visible at the edges.
