Night photo of a narrow village street lit by a bright floodlight on a pole. A carpet of yellow flower petals runs down the middle of the road, with people standing and walking on both sides. Near the centre, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks along the petal path, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti walks beside the petals. Several young men in orange and blue shirts stand in the crowd, and others wear white or red clothing. A motorcycle is parked at right beside a tree branch with feathery leaves, and a white building with a balcony lies at left. The scene looks like a street welcome with petals laid for a visiting procession.
