A festival procession on a dirt road with orange and red flags raised overhead. In the foreground a large figure with a painted black face, white-and-red headdress wreathed in orange and white flower garlands, and orange and yellow sash, stands beside a tall ornate figure in pink, purple and yellow drapery with marigold and white jasmine garlands. Behind them, men in white dhotis and white shirts walk with drummers: one in a yellow shirt and red headband plays a green-bodied drum, another in white with a yellow cloth beats a drum, and a drummer in red plays a large white drum. A man carries a decorated pennant on a pole. Banana plants and dry vegetation appear at the edge of the road.
