Elevated view of a village street lined with thatched-roof huts and strings of small blue-and-white pennant flags. A procession moves down the dirt road: a brass band in red and white uniforms with peaked caps, playing a large drum, cymbals and tubas, leads the way. Behind them, many people in white shirts, saris and salwar kameez walk in a wide group, several women carrying silver trays or pots with flower offerings, while onlookers stand near the huts and a few children appear in the foreground. No single figure can be identified as a person with confidence, so the presence of any such person is uncertain.
