A street procession in a South Indian village. In the foreground, a long line of schoolboys in white shirts and khaki shorts stands along a dusty unpaved road, many looking toward the camera. Behind them, a crowd of women in colourful saris and men in white shirts and trousers gathers near a canopy with a striped umbrella and a ceremonial parasol. A man in a white dhoti-style outfit stands at right beside an orange-clothed figure. Concrete houses, a tiled-roof building and a painted wall with a red-and-yellow design line the roadside. Brick walls and a parked vehicle appear at the top of the frame.
