A festival procession moves along a tree-lined path with decorated yellow, red and multicoloured parasols and tall gold-tipped poles overhead. Several men in saffron and orange robes wear gold-bead necklaces and garlands, and some wear white. A woman in white with an orange shawl carries a brass vessel decorated with yellow flowers on a tray. Men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk among the crowd, with many more people visible behind the parasols. A dense group of men and women of the procession is visible; two men at centre wear orange robes and flower garlands, one with a tall headdress. The banners carry floral embroidery in red, yellow and green.
