Outdoor roadside procession in a village street lined with trees and bamboo scaffolding. Bare-chested young drummers in blue sashes play large drums at the centre of a crowd. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands near a garland-decorated figure, and men in white shirts and dhotis walk alongside. Women in saris, including one in orange and another in yellow, watch from the crowd. Motorcycle riders sit at the lower right, and a blue cord strung across the road holds back spectators. The faces and clothing of the crowd are visible at close range, with no identifiable a person figure confirmed.
