A street procession of many devotees walks along a roadside lined with a low colourful shop and a pillared temple colonnade. Most participants wear white dhotis or saris with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and many carry brass or copper pots on their heads, a milk-pot procession. At the lower right a figure in saffron-orange robes walks barefoot among them. Signboards and a framed portrait hang on the buildings behind the crowd, and palm trees rise at the upper left. The scene is a crowded outdoor religious procession.
