Outdoor photo of a village street during a procession. Women in saris stand in two rows along both sides, many holding brass plates or flower offerings, and wearing jasmine and orange flowers in their hair. Men in white shirts and dhotis line the road and watch from the rooftop of a green house at upper left, where several people are perched. A procession moves down the centre of the road toward a distant orange-and-red decorated umbrella. Thatched huts, palm trees and utility poles frame the scene under a pale sky.
