A procession on a dirt path near rocky ground and a white boundary wall. Men in white shirts and dhotis carry tall orange flags on poles at the left. Several men play drums, including large drums slung at their sides, with one drummer in a red lungi. Other participants wear white and a woman in a teal sari walks in the middle. A red arch-shaped banner is visible at the upper centre. Participants wear white clothing with coloured shawls. The scene reads as a festival march.
