A festival procession crosses an open dirt ground in front of a brick wall and trees. In the foreground a drummer in white dhoti and shirt with an orange cloth at his waist carries a large barrel drum on a strap, while a companion in white walks beside him. Behind them a long line of devotees follows, including women in saris of pink, white and green and men in white dhotis with orange and yellow shawls and garlands. Children walk among them. Further back an ornate ratha or palanquin with decorations is visible, and a white railed enclosure and small buildings sit at the right edge.
