A dense street procession moves through a village lane lined with banana stalks hung with green bunches and orange flags. A central man in rust-coloured robes wears a long multicoloured flower garland and a rudraksha mala, smiling and extending his arm toward the crowd. Around him, several shaven-headed monks in orange and saffron robes walk closely, and a large crowd of men, women and children in white, yellow and red saris and shirts presses in from both sides. A small vehicle and a parked car are visible in the background under a bright sky.
