A procession on a tree-lined road. In the foreground, a bald man in a white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl over his shoulder faces away from the camera, holding a bundle of flowers. Around him, several people in white and light clothing carry framed portraits on poles and trays. Two ornate umbrellas, one bright red and yellow striped and one gold and blue, shade the group, and a large decorated palanquin-style float stands at the left. Children and adults line the route, some holding flags or flowers, and a small roadside building with a green sign appears in the background.
