A large outdoor procession moves along a roadside in a rural-suburban area. Many men in white dhotis and white shirts walk in a dense crowd, many carrying red and orange flags on poles. A decorated red-and-yellow bus and a colourful decorated float or palanquin with ornamental panels stand in the street, with a cyclist and autorickshaws nearby. Palm trees, a bank kiosk and piles of dark paving stones line the road, and a yellow-and-black roadside sign is visible at left. No individual within the crowd can be clearly identified as a person candidate from appearance alone.
