A street procession on a paved road beside a concrete wall and a parked truck with a blue and yellow side. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts play large drums, one holding a stick, and a man in a light shirt and white dhoti plays a saxophone. Some men wear saffron-orange shawls over their shoulders, and one drummer wears a bead necklace. A white sun-shaded truck and orange flags appear in the background. The scene resembles a band accompanying a ratha yatra.
