A procession on a dirt road in an Indian village setting, with a yellow earth-moving machine and palm trees behind. Men and women in white dhotis and kurtas lead the procession, some with yellow or white shawls and rudraksha malas. Drummers in dark shirts play drums and a long brass horn. Several large ceremonial umbrellas with orange, red and gold embroidered panels are carried above the group, and in the centre a vehicle decorated with orange and gold draping moves forward. Figures in saffron and orange robes walk near the front. Lush green shrubs and a mango tree frame the right side of the scene.
