A street procession moves along a paved road with a crowd of devotees. Many men wear white dhotis and white shirts with saffron-orange shawls, while several monks in saffron-orange robes walk among them. Striped and colourful ceremonial parasols with gold fringe and tassels are raised above the group, and saffron flags are carried. Musicians play drums and long wind instruments, including a bearer in a blue sari and a woman in a dark patterned sari with a gold necklace. Vehicles and onlookers line the roadside in the background. The scene reads as a ratha-style religious procession with devotees and musicians.
