A street procession in an Indian town fills most of the frame, with many colourful umbrellas and canopies in red, orange, blue, green and pink carried over a palanquin-like float. Garlands of orange and yellow marigolds hang from the central float, and a bald man in an orange-and-white ceremonial garment stands near the middle of the procession with a bead necklace. Red and orange flags and strings of purple, green, orange and blue triangular bunting stretch across the street. Behind them are white vans, an ambulance, parked cars and onlookers, with a shop billboard showing a man's portrait at the upper centre. Flower-decorated silver trays and attendants in white clothes are visible along the lower right.
