Outdoor street procession in a crowded Indian town. A palanquin-style carriage with a red and gold canopy and a matching parasol is pulled by white horses decked in red, gold and embroidered harnesses. Garlands of white and orange marigold hang along the carriage front. Dense crowds of men in shirts, a man in a maroon knitted cap, and a bald man in orange surround the horses. Palm trees, a bus and roadside signs appear behind. Occupants of the canopied seat are small and largely obscured, so no one can be identified.
