A procession on a dirt road beside trees and a parked white car. In the foreground, a woman with a long braid wears a red blouse and teal-and-gold sari and balances a tall, brightly decorated kalasha-style pot with red and pink tassels on her head; several other women carry similar decorated pots in a line. Behind them, a row of standing men and boys in white and dark shirts watch, some with hands folded. On the left, a person in an orange garment and white dhoti stands near a large fringed decorated umbrella, and another attendant holds a long-handled ceremonial parasol. The scene suggests a festival procession with ritual carriers.
