A street procession in a town, with drummers in striped tiger-print costumes and bright yellow head cloths playing large drums, their bodies painted with white markings and wearing red tassels and beaded necklaces. Police constables in khaki uniforms with red caps stand along the road, and a dark car moves through the crowd beneath a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts walk among onlookers, several wearing garlands and a rosette. Shops, a thatched hut and flowering trees line the roadside. No visible a person candidate is clearly identifiable.
