A crowded village street procession with bright sunlight flaring through the frame. Musicians in white dhotis and shirts play traditional drums and a long wind instrument; one drummer holds a thick-rimmed frame drum and another plays small hand cymbals. Men with sashes over their shoulders walk among women in colourful saris, some carrying brass plates with flowers, and children. Banana stalks with hanging green bananas frame the scene on both sides, with tents and a green building behind. Many spectators line the route.
