A large crowd of mostly women in colourful saris, many in red, yellow, pink and green, walks along a village path during an outdoor procession. Several women carry brass plates and offerings, and one holds a decorated floral arrangement on her head. Banana trees with hanging fruit and a thatched canopy with palm leaves frame the scene, and white and yellow flower garlands hang in the foreground beside peacock feathers. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand among the crowd, and a silver van is parked to the right. The mood is a festive village gathering.

Several wooden poles with a small orange flag stand among them. The scene looks like a public gathering at an inauguration, with people packed densely at the front and along the sides. Most faces are partly hidden by others, and no clearly identifiable a person is visible in this view.2006-11-13January 12 20072007-01-12A village procession moves along a dusty road lined with palm trees and tiled-roof houses, with hills visible behind. In the foreground, musicians in white dhotis and shirts play a wind instrument and drum, and men carry decorated palanquins draped with white and orange flowers, garlands and peacock-feather fans. Men in orange and white walk alongside, and a crowd of onlookers fills the street. Orange saffron flags and a red-and-gold decorated banner line the route.
