A long procession of women walks barefoot along a paved village road lined with coconut palms and green shrubs, with a low hill behind. Each woman balances a metal pot wrapped in white cloth on her head, one hand raised to steady it. Most wear white saris with gold or orange borders, while others wear orange, pink, blue and yellow saris. Several wear gold bangles and necklaces. The scene resembles a ritual pot-carrying procession.
