A large crowd fills a village street during a procession. At the centre, a decorated red-canopied chariot or palanquin carries a figure in orange robes with an orange head covering, raised above the crowd. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk closely around it, while uniformed police officers in khaki and dark caps stand near the front. Orange flags fly from poles along the street, and a brick building with a flat roof stands on the right. Many people line the road, some holding trays of offerings, and a photographer with a camera appears at the left edge.
