A procession moves along a dusty street lined with crowds under hazy light. Two men ride camels in the foreground, each wearing white dhotis and a white upper cloth, with bare chests, and each holds a tall colourful ornamental banner with floral and geometric patterns. Behind them a figure sits on a decorated elephant beneath a red-and-gold umbrella. Many people in white and orange clothing walk alongside, carrying long orange flags on poles. Yellow and red buildings and a loudspeaker-equipped structure line the street, and a man in a striped sweater photographs the scene at the left edge.
