A street procession in a crowded Indian town. Dense crowds of men in white shirts and dhotis fill the road. Two large canopy-like umbrellas with red and gold fringed tops, decorated with green and blue floral embroidery and a white bird emblem, are carried aloft above the crowd. A man in the foreground wears a maroon and gold scarf. Two men in white clothing film from the roof of a white vehicle, and bunting flags line the street. Buildings and a stadium-style light tower sit behind the crowd under an overcast sky.
