A photograph of a roadside procession on a multi-lane street, with participants in white clothes and white dhotis walking alongside traffic. Many carry saffron-orange flags on poles, and two men at the front hold a long banner with orange and red printing. Cars, a red minivan, a white SUV and a Royal Palace bus pass on the road, with shops, palm trees and a small roadside stall behind. Several people on the left wear white shirts and trousers. The scene reads as a street march rather than a ritual inside a temple.
