Outdoor street procession at a festival in a South Indian town, with a tree-lined dirt road under a clear blue sky. A decorated blue float or palanquin with yellow and orange garlands sits at left, with two women in white saris walking beside it and a man in a light blue shirt and trousers walking in the centre. Crowds of men line the road and stand on black auto-rickshaws at right, several climbing onto the vehicles and a tree. Yellow and green bunting and a red-and-yellow banner with Kannada script hang across the street, and a tall flagpole rises in the background.
