A street procession outside a brick house with an unfinished upper storey and a lattice window, leading to an open doorway. A long red carpet runs down a narrow lane scattered with flower petals, lined by standing women in saris and onlookers. In the foreground a man in a checked shirt walks away from the camera along the carpet. Two men in white dhotis and white shirts stand at right; one plays a long wind instrument (nadaswaram-style) and the other holds a drum with orange and gold trim, with a garland around his neck. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers smiles at the right edge. Banana leaves and a green tree frame the scene under a bright sky.
