Outdoor procession on a dirt road with young women in colourful saris carrying ornate decorated pots on their heads. The foreground dancer in a yellow sari with a maroon border and a green-sari dancer in the centre hold their hands in gesture, while a woman in an orange sari with gold border walks at right, all wearing white beaded necklaces and bangles. The tall pot headpieces are decorated in pink, green and gold with peacock-like finials and tassels. Behind them, men in white dhotis and orange shawls and dark shirts walk among devotees, and multicoloured umbrellas and a parked van stand in the background under a pale sky.
