A street procession on a dirt road in front of trees and low buildings. In the foreground a man in a white shirt plays a long wooden flute, and another man in a white shirt holds a drum-like instrument with wrapped sticks. Behind them a central figure in white dhoti and cream-coloured attire wears a white turban and garland and walks between men carrying tall poles with ornate red, orange and yellow umbrellas and canopies decorated with birds and floral motifs. Many men and women in white shirts, white dhotis and white saris follow, with a man in a blue checked shirt and grey trousers walking among them.
