Outdoor village procession moving along a dirt lane between low tiled-roof houses with turquoise walls. Women in saris of orange, red, purple and green lead, several balancing brass pots or kalashas topped with yellow flower and leaf decorations. Ahead, a tall palm-frond canopy and decorated umbrellas in red, yellow and blue mark the procession. Men in white dhotis play large drums, and a cameraman films the crowd near a white wall. Spectators line the edges, some with folded hands in greeting. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this view.
