A street procession on a crowded city road. A golden palanquin with carved gilt panels and tasselled finials is carried forward, shaded by an orange umbrella with beaded fringe. A seated figure in a red-brown robe and red turban, wearing a long beaded necklace, sits on the palanquin. Beside it, a man in a white dhoti with a gold border walks while holding the umbrella; his back is turned. Devotees in orange and maroon robes with orange garland necklaces walk near the carriage, and a large crowd of men with raised hands presses along the street. Balconies on a green multistorey building are filled with onlookers, and a police officer in khaki stands among the crowd.

A street procession in an Indian town. A golden palanquin with carved panels and an orange canopy with tasselled fringe is carried forward. A man in white dhoti with a gold border stands at the rear holding the canopy pole. A seated figure in red and gold robes and garlands sits on the palanquin, with a bald man in orange robes at its side.
