A dense outdoor crowd of men in white shirts and checked shirts presses around a procession in a village street. Two ornate orange and gold palanquin-style canopies with red panels, blue medallions and floral borders are carried high. A large red umbrella with fringed tassels stands at left, and a metal trident is mounted on a pole at right. A man in saffron clothing and a red garland is visible among the crowd. Banana leaves and a brick wall with tiled roofs form the backdrop. The scene appears to be a procession, though no clear a person candidate is identifiable from the visible appearance.
