A street procession on a sunny day under a clear blue sky, lined with palm trees. In the foreground a shaved-headed man in a saffron-orange robe with a gold-toned shawl and a gold necklace walks away from the camera, his back to the viewer. Behind him a crowd follows: a girl in white with a red flag, a woman in white with glasses carrying a trident-like staff, and men in white shirts and dhotis, one holding a large round drum. Red and saffron flags and decorated umbrellas or canopies rise above the crowd. A white building with a painted sign stands to the left and a dark-shirted man walks at the right edge.
