Night photo of a procession on a village street lined with a green carpet strewn with marigold and red flower petals. A white SUV with glaring headlights and a red 'a person' lettering on its windscreen moves forward slowly. Crowds of men line both sides; a man in a grey patterned shirt with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead holds a handful of red flowers and scatters them. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti beats a large round frame drum, and players in blue-and-green team jerseys with numbers, including one numbered 12, play drums. Brass pots and a small handheld instrument are visible at lower left.
