A festival procession moves along a paved stone path under green trees. Many women and girls in orange and saffron saris and salwar-style dress carry ornate parasols in orange, purple, blue and yellow with beaded fringes. Several barebodied men in white dhotis with gold borders walk near the centre, and one holds a drum-like instrument. A flower-decorated kalasha-style object and a bundle of flowers are visible among the procession. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is asserted. The scene suggests a ratha-style ceremonial walk.
