Several large ornate parasols with red, green and gold panels and fringed edges, decorated with a blue emblem, are held aloft over a palanquin draped with garlands and a gold crown-like finial. Many men wear white dhotis and shirts, some carry red flags and drums, and others in saris and salwar walk among them. A small olive-like tree and green grass stand at the left edge. Nearly all people are in motion and the crowd is dense in the centre.
