A street procession in a town with a crowd pressing close on both sides. Two white horses, decorated with red and gold trappings and garlands, pull an open ornate carriage with a red and gold canopy.

A green arch reads a Kannada-language dedication to a jagadguru of a mutt. Men in shirts and a man in a red knit cap stand in the foreground. Scaffolding and advertising banners line the street.
