The foreground participants wear white ritual clothing and garlands; a man in front wears white with a rudraksha-style necklace and carries a metal vessel topped with yellow flowers on his head, followed by a woman in a pale yellow sari and others similarly balancing offering pots. Behind them a line of people in white, some with garlands, continues past parked white vans and trucks toward palm trees and a hazy sky. Passengers look out of the bus windows.
