A village procession on a dirt road with a decorated bullock cart at centre. A seated figure in orange and gold sits on the cart under a multicoloured canopy, with a second colourful umbrella behind. The oxen wear embroidered gold-and-red cloth and flower garlands. Men in white dhotis and shirts, some with rudraksha malas, walk alongside, and a bare-chested man in white reaches toward the cart. Trees and a fence frame the scene under an overcast sky.
