A photograph of a dirt-road procession moving past white-walled buildings and a flower-lined verge of orange marigolds. A white Tata delivery van with a closed container body leads the group. Several colourful umbrellas, red, yellow and multicoloured, are carried over a central pair of people: a woman in a white sari and a man in a red dhoti with a garland. Around them, many people in white and cream clothes walk along, some in yellow saris, some holding sticks or small items. A large black signboard and blue direction signs stand in the background among construction-like surroundings and trees.
