A festival procession moves along a dirt road lined with coconut palms. Musicians in white dhotis and kurtas play drums and a long horn-like wind instrument, while others in white and saffron-trimmed clothing walk alongside. Several tall ceremonial banners with orange and gold fabric and red emblems are carried aloft. A thatched shelter and a large framed portrait with a banner stand at the left, and a few spectators in white saris and light clothing watch from the right. The scene has a dusty, sunny outdoor setting.

Two drummers in white dhotis lead the way, one in a red-and-white cloth, the other in an orange lungi, beating large barrel drums. Behind them, devotees in white clothes walk in a line, and ornate colourful umbrella-like canopies with gold and red fringes are carried ahead. Crowds of onlookers line both sides of the path: a woman in a white shawl on the left with hands folded, women in saris and salwars, and men in white shirts and dhotis. Several visible people hold mobile phones. The scene suggests a ceremonial village procession with drums and decorated canopies.2010-02-12December 28 20062006-12-28December 23 20082008-12-23
