Close photograph of two white horses harnessed side by side for a festival procession, their heads dominating the frame. Each horse wears black leather headstall and browband with red and white studded decoration, and colourful pompoms and tassels in yellow, orange, green, blue and red hang from the bridles and cheek straps. Behind them a red and gold brocade cloth drapes over the carriage or cart. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind the horses, one bald man with a red tilak mark on his forehead; another man's hand holds a bridle on the right. Blurred colourful circular banners fill the background.

Behind the horse, a line of men in white kurtas and lanyards stands along the path, some holding colourful striped umbrellas and a row of white horses wears matching red and gold trappings. A tent canopy and red balloons appear in the background, with a blurred crowd beyond. The scene suggests a horse procession or welcome line.2009-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25December 25 20092009-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25July 28 20082008-07-28December 25 20072007-12-25December 25 20092009-12-25A decorated procession at a Kumbh Mela-style event.
