Outdoor street procession at a Bonalu festival in a paved courtyard beside trees and a palm. In the foreground a drummer in a white shirt and dark trousers plays a large silver-rimmed dhol drum slung across his body. At centre a woman in a pink blouse, blue patterned skirt and white jasmine garland dances with arms outstretched, a kalasha-style brass pot with neem leaves on her head. Around her women in saris and garlands carry tiered pots decorated with green leaves and marigold garlands on their heads, one in a red sari, another in cream. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti stands at left and a man in an orange shirt holds a pot aloft at back. A motorcyclist helmet is visible at right.
