A street procession moves along a village road lined with low buildings and trees. Men in white dhotis and shirts, some bare-chested or in plaid lungis, walk in a long line. A white cloth canopy is held aloft over the group, and a man near the front holds up a raised arm. A man in an orange shirt in the foreground and another in a purple striped shirt walk at the front. A brass pot is carried near the middle, and a man wears a garland of pink flowers. Shrine-like ornate architecture and a yellow signboard appear at the right edge. No individual is identifiable as a person from the visible cues.
