A street procession in an Indian town. A decorated silver-toned cart drawn by a horse with silver-trimmed harness is draped with marigold garlands.

A golden multi-tiered temple tower stands at left, a tree shades the street, and shop signs and a red-and-green banner line the roadside. Saffron flags are visible on the right.
