A dense outdoor procession on a dusty road with a block wall on the right. Many men in white kurtas with orange saffron shawls walk and dance, some with hands raised and palms together. Several young men in blue polo shirts and blue sashes march among them, and a drummer with a drum is visible on the left. Behind the crowd, orange and red flags and ornate colourful canopies or ratha-style umbrellas rise above the procession. Two white balloons float in the middle. A man in the foreground wears a red tilak on his forehead. A figure in the centre wears a rudraksha mala with an orange shawl and a white kurta, smiling with hands folded in front of him. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowded frame, so the appearance cues are not distinctive enough.
