A dense street procession moves down a crowded town road lined with shops and multi-storey buildings, with strings of orange and white bunting strung overhead. Many men in white kurtas and dhotis, and others in orange shirts, fill the street. Several people hold tall orange flags that stream in the breeze. On the right, a loudspeaker or sound equipment is mounted on a vehicle at the front of the crowd. Shopfronts display signboards in Kannada script, with colourful cloth and goods hanging at stalls on the left. A distant temple gopuram rises above the rooftops.
