A street procession moves through a crowded town lane. A large umbrella-style canopy with a multicoloured panel of doves and floral motifs is held over a central figure wearing an orange-saffron robe and an orange turban, with hands pressed together in greeting. Beside them, another figure in orange robes and a beaded necklace walks among uniformed police officers in khaki and dark caps. Red-orange flags are carried through the crowd, and a tall, bearded man in white and a young man in a blue shirt are nearby. Green-painted buildings, a brick wall and a stone carving on a rooftop frame the scene.
