A large street procession winds through a village lane lined with thatched huts and a tin-roofed shop. A brass band leads with trumpet and tuba players in red and white uniforms and caps, and a drummer in white shirt plays a large drum. Behind them a long crowd of men and women in white dhotis and white saris walks, many carrying flower bunches and brass pots, under strings of bunting and a decorated red banner. A white sedan car moves slowly through the crowd, and a uniformed police officer stands at the left edge. Orange flags are visible at the bottom left.
