Evening procession at dusk on a dirt ground under dark trees. A shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shirt beats a large barrel drum held at his side. Behind him, men in white and orange-saffron robes carry a decorated palanquin with a multicoloured canopy and gold-embroidered panels on wooden poles. Women in cream, red-bordered and yellow saris walk in the procession, one carrying a lamp or offering plate. The palanquin is not visibly occupied by a clearly visible figure. Other people in white clothes walk in the background, and a small yellow banner on a pole is at left.
