A village street procession with several men walking toward the camera, playing percussion instruments including a drum, cymbals and small hand drums, and one man holding a pair of brass pots. Men wear white dhotis, checked shirts, a saffron cloth and a checked lungi. A decorated arch ahead carries a framed portrait of a bearded man in white, flanked by flags with a blue emblem. Palm trees, utility poles and white houses line the road.

Visible are dark hands gripping the gleaming brass discs, a man in a white shirt with a red cloth draped over his shoulder on the left, and a man in a red kurta with a yellow cloth at right. Others in white and light-blue shirts stand behind, their faces cropped out of frame. Bright sunlight and strong shadows define the scene.
