Outdoor street procession in a village. A person in orange robes and an orange turban sits in a red-cushioned carriage under a red canopy with beaded fringe, drawn by a white horse with a black horse beside it. Garlanded and seated high, the figure is looked at by white-clad men in the foreground, one in sunglasses, and a crowd of onlookers in white dhotis and shirts. Colourful feathered plumes hang at the right edge, and a roadside bus, palm trees, flags and a small shop sign for a chicken stall are visible. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron-orange robes and turban with a garland, riding in the chariot-style carriage as ceremonial honour.
