Street procession on a paved road during a festival. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a long yellow-and-orange beaded necklace walks with a peacock-feather fan. He is a person candidate based on the saffron robe, orange turban and beaded garland, though the appearance is only partly clear. Around him, people in white clothes carry ornate purple-fringed umbrellas and orange flags, and a drummer in red clothing plays a large drum at left. Spectators line the roadside, including a man in a green-and-white shawl, a woman in a pink sari and another in a yellow-bordered white sari, and a small child in a striped shirt.
