A long column of men in white shirts and dhotis walks along the left lane of a paved road during a pada yatra procession, many carrying saffron-orange flags on poles. A police officer in khaki uniform walks among them, and a silver hatchback car follows slowly in the lane beside them. Palm trees and roadside vegetation line the left, a tyre sits on the grass verge to the right, and a distant decorated float or kalasha-style structure rises above the procession near the middle of the road.
