A wet street procession of women in colourful silk saris and flower garlands. In the foreground, a woman in a red sari with a red blouse kneels on the wet ground, bent over a silver metal pot, while a long line of other women in purple, orange-red, green and blue saris stand behind her, many with white and yellow flower garlands and bangles on their arms. Puddles reflect the light on the pavement, and a wooden bench and a bystander in white clothing appear at the right edge. This is a Bonalu festival scene in which women prepare offerings in pots, so it is a Bonalu procession rather than a discourse.2022-07-10July 10 2022 Sripuram2022-07-10July 10 2022 Sripuram2022-07-10July 10 2022 Sripuram2022-07-10 +1 copiesWomen in bright saris walk along a dirt road carrying decorated brass and earthen pots on their heads for the Bonalu festival.
