A procession moves along a sandy forest path under tall trees. Men in saffron and orange dhotis and shawls lead, one beating a red drum and others playing long brass horns. Behind them a woman in a red and gold sari wears a long white and pink garland, with ornate parasols in orange, gold and red held above a group. Many people in white kurtas and white dhotis with red shawls follow, with a bus visible in the background. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the figures are described by role.
