A street procession in a small town passes a pink multi-storey building with shop awnings on the left. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk along the road; two carry tall staffs topped with orange-and-gold banners and a decorated umbrella-like canopy in orange, red and blue. The front figure wears an orange robe and carries a shoulder bag, and a long-haired figure in orange walks in the middle. Two pale cows rest on the roadside in the foreground, one with long curved horns. Trees and a cloudy sky frame the scene.
