A village street lined with large shade trees and small roadside shops, including a red Vodafone sign. A crowd of men gathers in the middle of the road, many dressed in white dhotis and shirts, with several holding saffron and orange flags on poles. A large multicoloured umbrella is raised above the group. A man in a green shirt stands at the centre, and a man in a red-and-black striped shirt stands at right. Parked motorcycles and bicycles line the road, and a seated elderly man in white rests at left beside a bicycle loaded with green leaves. Offering plates or bundles of greenery are visible in the procession.
