Outdoor procession on a sunlit street with a dense crowd of devotees in white shirts and white shawls, several with tilaka marks on their foreheads. Tall red and orange flags on poles and large umbrellas in blue, green and red with yellow patterns and tassels rise above the crowd. In the centre background, a figure seated on a decorated float or palanquin is surrounded by colourful balloons and garlands, with a red-and-orange canopy above. Water tanks and a building stand at the left, and a tree-lined skyline is visible beyond.
