Street procession in a town with a hillside behind it. A long crowd of men and women in white clothing walks along a road in daylight, with several buses, a colourful decorated float or palanquin ahead, and a large dark vehicle with a metal rack on the right edge in the foreground. Some men wear rudraksha-style necklaces. Figures in the foreground raise hands as they walk. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.
