A procession walks down the center toward the camera: a group in saffron and orange robes, including a figure in red-orange clothing and a figure in orange with a beaded necklace, followed by many women in white saris with red-orange shawls and some in white dhotis. On the right, a person in white with an orange shawl holds a camera on the floor-level side. On the left, men in white dhotis and a figure in yellow stand watching. A sign hangs on the left wall, and the scene shows about 30 visible people.
