A street procession in an Indian town with shops and overhead wires. A man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron top, an orange dhoti, and a gold-and-yellow beaded garland, and carries a long silver rod. He is a person by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold garland. Behind him a woman in white with a red-orange garland walks beside a man in white with a white cap. A young man on the right in a dark vest and yellow dhoti presses his palms together in greeting, with a tilak on his forehead. Several others follow in white and orange clothing.
