A street procession in a crowded Indian town lane, viewed from the crowd. Foreground men stand close together: a man in a white shirt with a red tilak on his forehead and hands pressed in namaste, a man in a blue checked shirt, and a man in a bright yellow shirt. On the right a man in a black shirt raises an arm. Behind them many devotees, including women in colourful saris, raise hands and look toward the procession. Pink and blue painted shophouses line the lane, with a green awning, shop goods hanging, and people watching from upper balconies. A red pole stands at the left edge.
