A large crowd of devotees walks along a dusty village road in a procession, many people dressed in white dhotis and shirts, women in colourful saris and salwar kameez, and children in blue and red clothes. Three striped multicoloured parasols with fringed edges are held up on the left, shading a group of people. Strings of pennant bunting stretch across the scene above the road, and a man in an orange shirt stands near the right edge. Electric poles, palm and tree foliage and a yellow painted wall form the backdrop. Some participants carry small offerings or brass vessels. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the crowd.
