A large outdoor procession moves along a dusty road lined with white-clad devotees, many men in white dhotis and shirts and women in white saris with coloured borders. Orange and red flags, saffron-coloured umbrella-like canopies and a decorated palanquin or float pass through the crowd. Bright yellow and red festoon draping and a banner strip frame the scene at the right, while a blue-shirted volunteer walks on the left. Concrete water tanks and low white buildings stand behind the procession under a clear blue sky.
