A street procession moves down a narrow residential lane lined with onlookers. Two musicians in the foreground play long wind instruments: the one on the left wears a white shirt and white dhoti, and the one on the right wears a red shirt, a folded cream shawl and a white dhoti. Behind them a bare-chested drummer in a white dhoti plays a barrel drum with a patterned shell, and another drummer beside him plays a second drum. Several women in white saris carry trays or bunches of flowers and stand in a line along the road. A silver SUV decorated with flower garlands stands in the background. Older women in saris and bystanders in white shirts watch from the sidelines.

A man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing a pendant necklace, walks down the centre of the road with his hands at his sides. On the right, a line of women in white saris holds bundles of flowers and brass pots of blossoms, facing him as they welcome him.
