A street procession of many children in traditional costume walks down a paved village lane between pastel-painted houses. Front children wear golden crowns with round jewelled medallions, white dhotis, bare chests with beaded necklaces, and green or purple garlands; some carry small golden staffs. Women in colourful saris line the roadside, one in blue, another in red and yellow, watching the procession. No adult in the procession is clearly identifiable as a person; the scene shows children in a ceremonial parade.
