Aerial view of a long road procession on a two-lane highway lined with palm and tree foliage. Hundreds of people in white clothing and orange-saffron flags and banners walk in a long column along the roadside shoulder. Red and white buses, trucks and cars travel the road alongside. A roadside billboard for UltraTech Cement is visible, and fenced green fields with concrete posts line the right side. Small figures stand at the lower edge of the frame. The procession appears to be a pada yatra, but no a person candidate is clearly distinguishable among the marchers.
