Outdoor procession on dry, dusty ground in warm late-day light. A white horse drawn carriage decorated with white flowers and yellow-orange garlands carries a seated figure under a fringed ornamental canopy with red, orange and green tassels. Men and youths in white shirts and dhotis, some with red or orange shoulder cloths, walk alongside. A drummer in a cream kurta holds a dhol drum with a red cloth on his shoulder. Several tall saffron-orange flags and a golden ceremonial staff rise at right, and a pale balloon floats near the horse. A seated man in a dark suit and red turban-band sits on the carriage, while crowd members in orange scarves and white attire fill the foreground.
