A roadside procession moves along a palm-lined road as a line of vehicles crawls beside it. On the left, a red and yellow truck with Kannada script painted on its cab and a driver visible through the window fills the frame, followed by white minivans and other trucks stretching into the haze. On the right, devotees in white clothes walk in a long column carrying small flags and a framed portrait on poles, the portrait showing a figure in a white head wrap and dark clothing. Tall coconut palms and green shrubs line the road under a pale, hazy sky.
