A street procession on a residential road lined with cream stucco houses with terracotta-tiled roofs under a clear blue sky. Several men in white dhoti-style garments with gold-bordered edges walk in front, one bare-chested with a sacred thread. Behind them, a figure in an orange and red robe with a red and gold headdress is carried or escorted within a decorated palanquin-like structure draped with green and orange cloth. Women in saris and salwar kameez, and children in bright red, blue and green outfits, gather along the roadside and watch. A man in orange clothing stands among them.
