Dense street crowd in a town market road during a procession. A person in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair, seen from behind, is showered with yellow petals and receives garlands of pink, white and yellow flowers held up by people in white shirts and dhotis. Many hands reach toward the central figure. A thatched-roof shop, a red flag and a red-and-yellow umbrella with tassels frame the scene, and a painted poster on a pole stands at left. Other spectators, including older women in saris, press in from both sides under a tree-lined street.
