A street procession moves along a paved road lined with small shops, a pink two-storey building and a blue-roofed stall with a tarp. Women in white saris with orange borders carry brass pots on their heads and hold flower-decorated vessels, walking in a line. Young men beat large drums held at waist height, one wearing a grey t-shirt and shorts, another in a brown shirt, a yellow shirt and a teal shirt nearby. A uniformed police officer stands at the right edge. Roadside trees, a utility pole and scattered litter are visible.
