Outdoor procession on a village road under a pale sky. A large vehicle or float is completely wrapped in garlands of marigolds, white jasmine-like flowers, pink and magenta blossoms and green leaves, with small saffron and red pennants on top. Beside it, a crowd walks in the street: men in white dhotis and shirts, women in white saris and a woman in a purple sari with a red blouse at left, one person in a blue-patterned white garment at right. Overhead power lines and trees line the roadside. The scene reads as a funeral or memorial procession with a flower-decorated carriage.
