Elevated view of a busy town street during a procession. Dozens of people in white clothes and some in saffron or orange walk in a crowd along the road. A decorated palanquin or ratha with orange and gold fittings and a yellow canopy moves near the center. Buses, trucks, vans, motorcycles and auto-rickshaws are packed along both sides of the road, and people stand on the pavement watching. Trees, low buildings and a yellow signboard line the street under a pale sky.
