A procession on a dirt path moves past a thatched wall, with motion blur from the walking crowd. A man in an orange saffron garment and rudraksha-style beads walks at the centre, with a garland of marigold-like flowers around his neck and a small brass pot carried in front. Above a figure to the left, a multicoloured decorated umbrella (chhatra) is raised. Many men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk around them, and drummers in white clothing play drums at the right edge. A loudspeaker horn is mounted on the wall, and a lamp stands in the background. Orange flags are visible in the distance.
