A large procession moves along a narrow village street between white two-storey houses with red-tiled roofs, orange flags and a tree in the background. Many women in saffron, yellow and orange saris carry brass trays and baskets of offerings on their heads, including bananas, pineapple and fruit. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk among them, and a small child is held by a woman in the foreground. In the centre, a man in an all-white outfit walks near the front of the procession. Overhead wires and dry branches lie along the roadside.
