A village street procession seen from above, with thatched-roof huts lining the road and a string of small white and blue pennant flags strung overhead. Drummers in white shirts and dark trousers, with red-and-black uniformed musicians in peaked caps, lead the crowd. Many women in saris of green, yellow, pink and purple carry small brass or lit lamps and flower-decorated trays, while men and boys in white shirts and dhotis walk alongside. A white car is parked at the right edge. No single person can be identified as a person in this crowd, so no candidate is described.

Elevated view of a village street lined with thatched-roof huts and strings of small blue-and-white pennant flags. A procession moves down the dirt road: a brass band in red and white uniforms with peaked caps, playing a large drum, cymbals and tubas, leads the way. Behind them, many people in white shirts, saris and salwar kameez walk in a wide group, several women carrying silver trays or pots with flower offerings, while onlookers stand near the huts and a few children appear in the foreground.
