A procession passes beneath a canopy of green banana leaves and hanging bananas, with red and white draping above. A man in a red garment with a long white flower garland walks at centre, while beside him a drummer in white shirt and white dhoti plays a red-and-gold drum. Other men in white shirts and red cloths follow, and a woman in a white sari holds a tray of flowers and fruit. Festive red and orange cloth decorates the background, and a child stands at lower left. The scene suggests a street procession with drumming and offerings.
