Outdoor procession on an open dusty ground at a festival. Several figures ride or stand on decorated palanquin-style platforms with gold and red fabric, garlands, and a peacock-feather fan; one rider wears a bright teal turban and pink wrap, another a green and gold outfit. Orange and red flags on tall poles flank the procession. Crowds of devotees in white dhotis and shirts, men in red kurtas, and women in saffron and yellow saris and dresses with long braids line the route. A banner and white canopy stand behind, with palm trees and a blue sky. Whether a person figure is among the riders is unclear from appearance.
