A procession of women and a few men walks along a dirt path past green foliage and palm trees. Many women carry metal vessels or steel bowls on their heads, topped with sprouted green shoots, banana leaves and white flowers. Their saris are yellow, teal, lime green, orange and pink, and several wear gold bangles and necklaces. A man in a white shirt and dhoti walks in front, and a framed garlanded portrait of a woman is displayed on a wooden post at the left edge. The scene looks like a ritual offering procession.
