A street procession moves along a dusty road with a small roadside shop and tree behind it. Several women in deep maroon and red saris, with white and gold garlands, ride on a decorated float or palanquin with rainbow-coloured tassels and a tall ornamental pole. Red flags with orange emblems flank the scene. Men in white shirts and dhotis walk alongside, and a uniformed police officer in khaki with a face mask stands in the crowd. A man in a teal shirt with a backpack photographs the procession.
