A village street procession lined with a long carpet of scattered flower petals in yellow, orange and red, leading toward a house. A green banana-leaf canopy is strung overhead. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis carry brass trays of rose petals and a decorated kalasha-style pot with a garland of white jasmine and green leaves. A woman in a bright orange sari and a woman in a purple and blue sari walk among the devotees, while onlookers stand behind a low wall and in the background. A pink and yellow painted house and a tiled roof are visible. The scene appears to be a pada puja welcome along the route.
